gccool Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi, I was married to a U.S. citizen in Jan 2006 (in India) , came to the U.S. in 2010 September with a green card(with start date of 9/24/2010). My spouse had to be abroad(Thailand)for few years on employment. I was living in US alone for the time he was abroad , We got separated in 2013 and got divorced in September 2014. My question : I have been in the US for 4 years 3 months now, can I apply for citizenship right away or do I wait until the 5 years on GC is completed ( that is 9/2015)and then start the process. Are there any exceptions to apply for citizenship post divorce . Greatly appreciate your time and effort on this . Thank you Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Since you are no longer married to the US citizen, you become eligible for naturalization 5 years after getting the GC. You can apply up to 90 days before the 5-year mark. Link to comment
