singularity Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 My spouse has been in the US on various visas (H4,F1,H1B) for more than 20 years now. We were recently told that a person who has maintained legal status for 20+ years automatically qualifies for US naturalization. Wanted to confirm whether this is true? Can anyone shed any light?

shandan Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I highly doubt that, there are folks living on visas longer than 20 yrs, still awaiting GC's, Link to comment
JoeF Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 That is not true. Don't listen to rumors. A person has to be a Permanent Resident for 3 (when married to a US citizen) or 5 years before becoming eligible for naturalization. Link to comment
Shurap1 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 20 year rule is for the waiver of english and civic test. https://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartE-Chapter2.html#S-B Link to comment
