Which Eligibility to pick, 3 years or 5 years?

[JaynLainey 0]

Anyone here applied for citizenship after been here for the past 5 years and is married to a US citizen spouse? If so, what eligibility did you choose:

A. Haven been lawful permanent resident of the US for at least 5 years.

B. Have been a lawful permanent resident of the US for at least 3 years. In addition, you have been married to and living with the same US citizen spouse for the last 3 years and your spouse has been a US citizen for the last 3 years at the time you filed your Form N-400.

Technically, these two applies to my status. Which one supersedes the others?

Hi Everybody,

Anyone here applied for citizenship after been here for the past 5 years and is married to a US citizen spouse? Ive been here in the states for 10 years and married for 10 years as well. If so, what eligibility did you choose:

A. Haven been lawful permanent resident of the US for at least 5 years.

B. Have been a lawful permanent resident of the US for at least 3 years. In addition, you have been married to and living with the same US citizen spouse for the last 3 years and your spouse has been a US citizen for the last 3 years at the time you filed your Form N-400.

Technically, these two applies to my status. Which one supersedes the others?

So if I pick letter A. Have been a lawful permanent resident of the US for at least 5 years, all I have to submit is 1.) N-400 form, 2.) copy of both sides of my PR card and 3.) $680 filing fee?

I am planning to mail it tomorrow, do you think the fee is still the same. I've read somewhere they will increase this month?

hi

tomorrow, so you will need to send it with the new fee, because the change is as of tomorrow

[JaynLainey 0]

do you know what is the new fee?

[JaynLainey 0]

Thank you! I found it.

So you only have to submit the N-400 form, the copy of your PR card and filing fee if I select A?

Not necessarily.

https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/article/attachments.pdf is the latest guide on required documents. Some people may need something (such as a Selective Service status letter, for example) that someone else does not.

I am not in the military.

Oh I am aware of this but this does not apply to me because I am a female. Thanks for the info by the way. Application is sent.

5 yrs of taxes needed.

5 yrs of taxes needed.

Untrue.

When filing under the 5 year rule, tax returns aren't required documents needing to be filed with the N-400.
