Filing for Citizenship with both spouses holding GC

[filelover]

Hi All,

I searched the forums and couldn't find the questions I had so here goes.

Both me and my spouse have green cards although I recieved mine about 6 months before she did.

1. I was planning on filing my application (4 years, 9 months after my GC) and also wanted to file for my spouse through my Citizenship application so she doesn't have to wait for her 5 years to pass since her green card. If I do so do I have to file 2 applications or just one and list her as my spouse on my application?

2. For the days listed out of the countries, the way I read it is if I leave the afternoon on the 1st for a foreign country and return on the afternoon on the 3rd that would be counted as 1 day, correct?

Thanks

since your wife got her greencard 6 months after you did, it is faster for her to apply her citizenship on her own rather than based on marriage to a (future) USC.

Thanks & another Question

Thanks. I was under the impression that she could file with me as I filed but I now get it. She either has to wait for me to become a citizen and file or file on her own 6 months later.

I did have another question. The "Permanent Resident Since" date on her card is mistakenly listed as 98 (even though it is 2001). When she changed her name she asked them to change it but they didn't. Will this be an issue when she files?
