Hi guys,

I am slightly confused. I have a green card through asylum and my approval date is March 08. When will I be eligible to apply for citizenship?
 
You can apply for citizenship, 4 years and 9 months after the Residence Since date on your Green Card. Rule of thumb!

March 2012 your eligibility date, you can apply 90 days prior your Eligibility Date
 
i don't get this calculation. his/her resident since is 3/08 and he/she due to apply on 03/2012 i thought it would be 12/2012?

Ok help me out here my resident since 10/06, when can I apply for citizenship? Thanks!:confused:
 
Hey,

If yours Green card written date of resident is march 2008

1. March 2009 your first year completed
2. March 2010 your second year completed
3. March 1011 your third year completed
4. March 1012 your fourth year completed
5. March 1013 your fift year.

One could apply before 90 days ahead time then you are eligible to apply sometime in December 2012.
Not to wait for March for 5 years completion.

The earliest you can apply for citizenship is 90 days (not 3 months! - very important!) before the fifth anniversary of the date on your GC.
