Citizenship

[ImmigChicago]

How long does one have to be in GC status before applying for citizenship? Does being in conditional status count towards the citizenship?

How long does one have to be in GC status before applying for citizenship?

If married to a US citizen, three years.

Does being in conditional status count towards the citizenship?

Yes.

3 yrs if married, 5 if not.
keep in mind, applying for citizenship sometimes is even more painful than GC experience. Seen green card holders waiting 17 years for citizenship... but thats just up to USCIS
