Questions on marriage based gc with usc

[ssg10]

Hello.
I got a couple questions regarding marriage based gc with USC...
1. I understood there is 2 year probabation period to get a permanent gc from temporary gc for marriage with usc. Is this 2 years period actually started from the time of interview and passport stamping, or from the time we got married?
2. What will we have to do 2 years later to get a permanent gc? Is there another interview at the service center? What's the process?
3. Will we still have to be married 3 years from now to apply for my citizenship? if something happens before the 3rd year, hopefully not, but if we get divorced, will I have a problem applying for citizenship?

4. If my spouse (she's a USC) was married and divorced once (about a year ago, due to incompatibility, and she was married to another USC), will it be a problem at the interview? Will they even ask for that her marriage history?

Thanks!!

if at the time of the interview you have been married for the full two years, you will get the unconditional gc without any kind of probation period.

If you are married for less than two years at the time of interview, then you will get a conditional gc, and 1 year and 9 months after the issue date on gc, you both will need to apply for the removal of conditions. About a year later they will be removed - if you are still married. There may be or may not be an interview.

If you are still married, you can apply for citizenship 2 years and 9 months after the issue date of your gc (whether it is conditional or unconditional). By the time you are eligible to get your citizenship you must have an unconditional gc, that is, the conditions must be removed by the time you are called for the exam.

If you are no longer married, you will be eligible for citizenship 4 years and 9 months after the issue date on your gc (it must be unconditional then).

There will be no problems due to her earlier marriage.
