My greencard is an employment based greencard. However I'm married to US citizen since last 4 years.

Can I apply for US citizenship on completion of 3 years of my green card? Or I have to wait 5 year?


Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

You may be able apply right now based on your marriage to a US citizen. You can verify eligibility requirement using the worksheet in the naturalization guide.

That is not true. Consult with an attorney on this. I think it will depend on the way you obtain your green card intially

Yes you can apply as long you meet the criteria JoeF mentions. The Natz Guide has a nice eligibility decision tree that you can use to confirm for ur peace of mind.

I have applied under the same situation you describe, I got my employment based GC in March '02 and had been married to a USC b4 I got my GC. I applied in July '05 on the 3 yr basis. All the best!!
