re conditional green card

[positive2006]

I have a conditional green card from my previous marriage. I am divorced now. I was married for 3 years. My question is -:

If Immigration removes my conditional successfully then can I apply for natrualization since i was married to US citizen for 3 years before divorce. If not then can someone tell me when i will be eligible to apply for citizenship. I got my Conditional GC in April 2004. I am waiting for I-751 result

Thanks

Please Help!!!

Unfortunally you won't be ellegible.
You have to comply with at least 3 years of US Resident and be married to the same US Citizen for 3 years too.

The 3 years is from your LPR status not the date of your marriage.

Good luck,

I am a conditional Green card holder waiting for my I-751 result. If I apply for permission to live outside US for more than one year will immigration allow me to stay outside US while I am waiting for my result

Please advice

Actually I don't think so. USCIS can remove the conditions even if you're devorced and make you an LPR which means you're most likely good for the naturalization process.

Well, the naturalization process demands a certain amount of time you resided in the US. You got to decide what you really want first.

I do understand that Naturalization requires certain amount of time, reason i asked that question that if am not eligible for naturalization right now and if my i-751 is taking long time then i can go back to my country as i want to get married there since i cannot bring my spouse here because of my conditional status so i might to have to stay here. thats why i asked that question

please let me know what do you think about this

Maybe you should ask clear question instead of serving slices of informations. And I'd appreciate if you don't open threads for each tiny bit of your case.
You should make up your mind first. What do you really want ?
Stay here and become a citizen or marry in your home country ?
I'm thinking of priorities, you know.

I am really Sorry if I sound rude to you, my intention was not like that. right now becoming citizen is not my priority. my priority is to maintain my GC and also to get married in my home country. Thats why i wanted to know from you if I am still waiting for I-751 result will they allow me to stay out of country for more than 1 year or not?

Thanks

When your green card expires? I think that I ask that same question in the other thread but I haven't look at it yet.
Anyway, must likely is that if your I-751 is still pending means that they at least must extend one more year your GC status if it's going to expire. Saying that if you are applying for a re-entry permit that allows you one year but less than 2 years, even they appoved it (I-131) doesn't mean that you can stay out that period of time since your gc has an expiration date that you must comply. And the expiration date is mandatory over the re-entry permit.

What Rex means (if I am not wrong) is that if you are pretending to become a US citizen and if you are staying more than 6 months outside the US then you are breaking the "continue residency" rule to apply for citizenship. If you are thinking to get remarry with a person who is not a National or US citizen then this person will have to wait several years outside the country.

Now I don't want to sound picky but just take a look at your profile, since you got LPR status through a US citizen and you got divorce after received the green card and now you are looking to get married with another person (not US citizen) that can looks suspicious. I am not saying that I don't believe that your marriage was bonafide, but USCIS looks when those type of things happen, so you know...

Good luck,

That's exactly what I was thinking
