You can not apply to become a citizen until 3 years after you are approved for a greencard.... so you will need to apply for AOS and once that is approved you can apply for citizenship 2 years and 9 months after the approval date that will be on your greencard.... your time as a K3 does not count....

Have to have a green card for 3 years to to file for citizenship.

One thing is when you do adjust status, it will result in 10 year card, not a conditional one.

I would schedule an info pass and ask about the I-130, it should have been approved some time ago.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Sand,

What are you waiting for? You are about to become illegally present in the USA, if you aren't already.

Or applly to extend your status if you're wanting to get your LPR status via an immigrant visa.

Either way, as others have already told you, you don't start counting the 3 years to citizensip application until you become a LPR.

Sounds like OP is still waiting for NOA2 for the I-130, I believe a copy of that NOA is needed to be attached to I-485 when adjusting status based on an approved immigrant visa petition (I-130 for the CR-1/IR-1)

Perhaps the NOA2 for I-130 was lost, check the I-130 case number form NOA1 on line, to see if it was approved, and if so you may have to contact USCIS for another I-130 NOA2, or you may have to file I-824 to order another one.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.
