Naturalization Question Please Help
My spouse is born in another country but she is a citizen of US now,
how long do I have to wait in order to be able to apply for citizenship for me. I am waiting on my Permanent Green Card any day now, its been two years since i was granted a Green Card, I know that if she was born here I need to wait three years so I can apply, but since she is naturalized is it longer or still trhee years. Thank you so much.

It is still 3 years since the date you were granted your residency (the date on your conditional GC)
USCIS makes no distinction from natural born and naturalized US Citizens.

It is three years no matter how your wife became US Citizen. You will be able to apply three years after the date shown on your Green Card. Usually, 1 year after you get your 10-year green card.

It is just 3 years (minus 90 days) from the "Resident Since" date on your Green Card (either GC).

You have to be married to and living with your citizen spouse until you take the oath, in order to take advantage of the 3 year rule.
