Looking at the ROC thread I see many people send their I-751 (Removal of Condition Application) at the same time of their N-400 (application for naturalization).

 

How does this work? I thought you had to be married to a US citizen for 3 years AND be a legal resident for 3 years (ROC means you've barely had a GC for two... right?), I thought both conditions had to be met in order to apply for naturalization, Is that not the case? because most of us got the GC many months after marriage so how are ppl able to file those two forms at the same time? I don't understand :huh:

 

Can somebody please explain?

They’re not filing at the same time. They’re filing ROC and then 1 year later, they file N400 even if their ROC is still pending.

hi

 

exactly, because the removal of conditions is taking longer than it used to, it used to be less than a year. if a person has filed for removal and a year or more has passed, and is eligible for citizenship, being married for 3 years and a GC holder for 3 years, that person can file for citizenship.

 

but they are not filed at the same time, removal of conditions is filed 90 days before the 2 year GC expires, citizenship is filed a year later or more than a year

Buckle up if you’re just applying for I751, because the next year is going bye bye.
