I am currently a green card holder. This summer I am planning to come back to my home country for about 2 months for an internship. Unfortunately, my husband cannot come with me because he has his job here.
My question is will I be qualified to apply for citizenship after 3 years? Or do I have to wait 5 years before applying. I keep getting mixed responses about this. Some say I can still apply after 3 years, some say I can apply after 3 years + 2 months (the time that I spend abroad apart from my husband) and the others say that I have to wait 5 years before I can apply because I break the marital union requirement.
Does anyone here have the same experience or know about this? Thanks everyone! ! !
