Hi everyone,
 
	 
 
	I am currently getting closer to the expiration of my 2-year marriage-based GC (hubby is a U.S. citizen) and will be filing I751. 
 
	Meanwhile, I wonder if I'd be eligible for directly filing citizenship in conjunction with i-751.
 
	 
 
	Here's my timeline:
 
	
		Entered the U.S in November 2021 on a K-1 Fiancé visa
	
	
		Got married in January 2022
	
	
		Received my 2-year GC in March 2023
	
	 
 
	I read through the USCIS website. For marriage-based Citizenship, one of the conditions says:
 
	 
 
	
 
	
		Be a lawfully admitted permanent resident of the United States for at least three years immediately before the date you file Form N-400;
	
	 
 
	Does a "lawfully admitted permanent resident" start from the date indicated on my GC? or starts when I entered the country? The term is not clear to me and would make a big difference as If the case is the latter, I would be eligible for citizenship (November 21 - November 24). Has anyone experienced the same?
 
	 
 
	Thank you for your help.
