Needing advice on filing N400 and I751 same time

[Danmuji 14]

Hello,

 

Sorry as this question was likely has been covered.

 

We were given 10 year IR1 green card on 12/16/2019 and eligible for N-400 filing on 9/16 of this year. 7 years remaining on the green card.

 

Could someone please comment on if it's good idea/neccessary to file I-751 for 10 year green card holders? 

 

I thought I'd ask as it seems everyone is filing both(n400 + i751) at the same time.

 

Thank you.

The removal of conditions is only for the ones who have a 2 year card. So no need to file if a 10 year card was rightfully given.

When did you get married? Asking to make sure card was not issued in error..as sometimes happens.

Since you were married for more than 2 years when LPR status was granted in 2019 , you do not need an I-751. Apply for the N-400 based on the 3 year rule. 
Congratulations !

please do a timeline on your profile 

then people can look at it and don't have to ask questions "like when u were married"

it is also important to others who follow in your footsteps to get information and see good solid stats

This does not apply to you, but the I-751 and N400 cannot be filed at the same time.  The I-751 is for conditional residents with 2 yr greencards that need to remove conditions when their 2 year card is about to expire.

 

People can file the N400 under a 3yr rule if they stay married and live with their USC spouse. This is applied for at around the 3rd year of being a GC holder.

 

I believe you are referring to people who have combo I-751 and N400 interviews.  These people have been waiting over a year for their I-751 to be approved.  For example, some could get a combo interview 18 months after they submitted the I-751 and 6 months after they submitted the N-400.  But they never applied for both at the same time.

No need for i751 in your case. You never had conditions on your green card. You simply file for n400 when you are eligible. 

 

Eligibility for Naturalization:

Stayed in the USA for more than 50% of the time during the last 3 years more than 18 months total. Under a 3 year rule.

Stayed in the USA for more than 50% of the time during the last 5 years more than 30 months total. Under a 5 year rule.

Not been out of the USA for more than 180 days at any one time

Your spouse has been a citizen for 3 years or more along with the petitioner having a green card for 3 years both must be true to be eligible under the 3 year rule.

You must have lived at your home address for more than 90 days before you file an n400 application.
