Hi,
I am going to be eligible for citizenship in the next few months. I got married about a year ago in a religous ceremony outside of the U.S. and my wife came here on a non-immigrant student visa. I am eligible to file for citizenship soon (LPR based upon asylum) and was wondering if I should:
* Apply for citizenship as Single and after I become a citizen, then have a civil court U.S. marriage
OR
* Apply for citizenship as married and show foreign marriage (documentation?) and current status as living together
Could you please advise which would be better in terms of timing, documentation, possible delays/denial etc?
Thanks for the help!
