 hello everyone

 i have question that i cannot find the answer anywhere, i decide to ask here:

 i been married to us citizen for 6 years now, and we still married.  i receive my  10 years green card less that  15 months  ago. i never receive the conditional 2 years  green card.

 i read  on many websites that one of the  requirement for people who obtained green card through marriage to us citizen must  wait  3yrs  from the date they became  PR in order to apply for

citizenship. In my undemanding is that those people had received the two yrs conditional GC. 

 In my case :

1) i been married and still married with the same us citizen for  6 yrs now

2) i did receive the two yrs conditional GC, because when my GC was issued  we already have 5ys  of marriage  that why i receive immediately the 10yrs GR

3) My 10yrs GC was issued less than 15  months ago

 My question  is that:   can i apply for the citizenship now since i have been married for more than 3yrs and i have a 10yrs GC?  or i  have to wait 3 yrs to apply since i receive my GC  was issued less than 3 yrs ( the requirement) ?

 

 i will appreciates your responses

You did NOT receive the 2 year (conditional) green card. You only received the 10 year (and do not require filing for ROC).

You must be a permanent resident for 3 years to naturalize as the spouse of a USC (and can file 90 days prior to the 3 year anniversary). The 3 years start from the "Resident Since" on the green card.

Yes as what they said, you must complete both of them "3 years married to the USC spouse + 3 years of living in the USA as a permanent resident"

And you must be married with your USC spouse for whole of these 3 years, and she/he must be a USC for whole of these 3 years also.

 

You have completed the first 3 years rule, you have married to USC more than 3 years.

So just you have to complete the second part of them, you can apply for N-400 90 days early, so you have been here 15 months, that means you should wait for 18 months more.
