Ready To File : 3 Year

[MASH 172]

its been pretty much a year that I have been waiting on the 10 year green card and I don't with to prolong the wait so I am thinking if I can just apply for N-400 which I feel I can since I will be a LPR for 3 years by end of November .

 

so for people who did not want to wait for the 10 year green card and decided to do the N-400 what info did you send to make sure of approval?

When I had my green card interview, I was told this was possible, but it has been so long I am actually looking for information as well!

if I remember properly, the officer mentioned to wait until they schedule your interview for the green card and then apply for the citizenship, I believe.

Happens everyday. I applied for N-400 with a pending I-751 too, and I wonder why people wait. There are multiple threads on this, like the one below. There is no difference in the documentation compared to if you waited for the 10-year visa.

Is that 3 years from your wedding date for the K1 Visa or is it 3 years from your initial green card approval?

3 years as Green Card holder. 

3 years from the “Resident Since:xx-xx-xxxx” on your Green Card

Actually there are 3 separate 3-year rules (lol) that you must meet to quality for accelerated naturalization as a US citizen's spouse, and you must meet each one separately:

• 3 years as a legal permanent resident (or GC holder, as @Downloader outlined above);
• 3 years of continuous residence in the US (you can be a LPR but not be continuously resident); and
• 3 years living in a marital union with US citizen (you can be married but not be in marital union).
