If you're still married to the spouse that sponsored you for your immigration, you can apply in the 90-day window before the 3-year anniversary of your arrival to the U.S.

The earliest you can submit your naturalization paperwork is November 4, 2016. Here's the link: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/dateCalculator.html

Good luck!

Thanks , the calendar gave me 11/04/2013 not 2016 not sure why!

You may file Form N-400 ninety (90) calendar days before you complete your permanent residence requirement if your eligibility for naturalization is based upon being a:

• Permanent resident for at least 5 years; or
• Permanent resident for at least 3 years if you are married to a US citizen.

Thanks for your answer

Hi, i have a 2 simple questions regarding the citizenship process, i appreciate your help

I came to USA on 02/02/2014, when i will be eligible to apply for citizenship? or when the 90 days will start?

Do i must be working while i'm applying?

Thanks

If you can use your future US passport right after end of citizenship process, you can just wait, save your money and time, perhaps you will get approved very fast and if needed to travel you will find no problem, if there is a long wait to have US passport after approval (not sure you should check naturalization forums and see ) and you probably will have to travel then may be you should just renew it now and relax

I realize that there are other criteria by which someone is elligible for naturalization, but OP narrowed his/her questions to specific ones that caused him/her confusion, so limiting the answer to those is appropriate. What I alluded to is one answer to one question.

The USCIS AFM refers to the three-month residency requirement by specifically mentioning "service district area." There are two addresses based on the filing of N-400, exception: if you are a former member of the military, spouse of current member of the military, or close relative of deceased member of the military.) As provided in the link I supplied.

The OP's location is listed as California.

Thanks , this is correct i live in California

Is USCIS means with 3 months , 3 months residency in the same State CA for me right? by the time i will be back to CA i would like to apply for citizenship, can i do that although i will spend almost 2 and half months overseas?

1) What is the "resident since" date on your permanent resident card? You may file the N-400 within 90 days preceding the three year anniversary date of your permanent resident status.

2) You must be ordinarily resident in a service area for three months prior to filing with that service area's office. For the N-400, there are two service areas. See "Where to File" at the following link: https://www.uscis.gov/n-400

If you're on vacation, but you live (and have lived for more than three months) in California, you can file with the following address:

USCIS

P.O. Box 21251

Phoenix, AZ 85036

For Express Mail or courier deliveries, use the following address:

USCIS

Attn: N-400

1820 E. Skyharbor Circle S

Suite 100

Phoenix, AZ 85034

Thanks

resident since 02/01/2014, so the 90 days will start i think in October!

i live in California , yes i'm just in vacation i will stay for 2months and few days, this will be the first time i take vacation overseas since i become resident, so when i saw -3 months in the same state- i get confused

You have to give people time to find your question.

If you go to uscis.gov/forms and click on the N-400 and all of its related forms, you will find a checklist that determines your eligibility to apply for citizenship that includes more than just the "90-day" date.

Good luck!

Thank you for your answer

Yes i already went to the checklist, the only requirement that i did not understand very well is 3 months in the state? i don't understand what they means with this,

Please, no answer?

Hi, i have a 2 simple questions regarding citizenship application, i appreciate your help

When i will be eligible for citizenship(3 years) , i came to USA on 2/1/2014, i think there is calculator to calculate 90 days but i don't know how to find it?

What this means: You have lived within the state or USCIS district where you claim residence for at least 3 months? I'm now in vacation overseas

Thanks for any advice regarding this matter

You don't have to give excuses to yourself. What is the point of living with someone who doesn't respect, love and care about you?. People usually say "because I love him/her " or "I am trying to save my marriage" well you need to love,care and respect you more.

Marriage should be is based on respect, trust and love, without these things there is no reason to continue.

You can't imagine how I feel! I feel so bad

Don't feel bad , u will be OK

U have to relax & think, give urself a time, ND if he do not give an answer to what's happend & u become sure he's cheating save yourself respect and dynity

How about drafting a Power of Attorney for Health Care.You should get a CERTIFIED COURT DISPOSITION to submit along with your case.

Get affidavits from family and friends stating about bonafide marriage.They should mention their full name, date and place of birth and current address.They should mention when they met you and where, if they attending the wedding or not,if not why not, If they visited you after the wedding. The affidavits must be NOTARIZED, but affidavits from your family abroad are not necessary to notarize. Submit IRS TRANSCRIPT.

Thanks for your answer , what do you mean by certified court disposition? they gave me in the court day a paper saying no action taken , i got this document from the court i asked for more documentation they said this is what i can get and i'm good to go , there was no trial or anything i was not charged for anything , is this paper what are you talking about?

there is no sample/example on how to write affidavits? the affidavits should be written by hand or computer? where to notarize it? i'm asking in case i submit affidavits with my application

Thank you again i hope i get answer to those 2 questions, please

Since you have a month till your 90 day window opens, I'd suggest you research through VJ to look for what other evidence you can submit that you haven't already thought of. A glimpse on VJ will show that couples have come up with very creative ways to add joint evidence. If you haven't done it already, you can think of making healthcare power of attorney and/or wills. Such evidence will surely override your previous history.

Thank you , i'm trying to find out what can i submit with i-751

thank you for your answer

Worry less , you got arrested but not charged for anything, i have read many stories with DV and i-751 and their green card gt approved ,

i hope what are you saying is true , thanks for your reply

if somebody know an answer to my question, or know somebody with a similar situation ,please help, thanks a lot

I know my Moroccan husband's DL will expire the same day as his green card will expire September 10, 2015). So actually we have an appointment to get his driver's license renewed as well as mine because mine is expiring in August 2015.

I am a little concerned that they will not renew his driver's license until he gets his condititional green card renewed/removal for a 10 year green card.

But we will find out on August 4th because that is when we have our appointment. When I find out more, I will post an update.

As for the difference of the ID card versus the DL card, I don't know. Maybe they made a mistake or did you already finish doing the removal of conditional GC by filing and getting approved of the I-751?

Thanks for your answer, no i will remove the condition on my green card in 3 months from now, i hope good news for you and your husband on the appointment and on his removal process , good luck , post an update , have a nice day

no need to worry if it's mistake they will correct it, if not rules are different from state to state, let's us updated when you contact dmv,

was asking same question to friend today, give some time to the others they will answer your question

Maybe tell people where you came from and timeline and so on. That way there is maybe someone that you will have a connection with. Same country? Same timeline you came?

I did updated my profile

Thanks for your answer

Ok , thanks
