BSEOIM Act: Naturalization in 3 Years after LPR?

[infinismall]

I know this is a legislation that may or may not become law in its current form but wanted to get other members' opinion about the following provision (from page 109-110) which says any LPR would be eligible for naturalization in 3 years. Am I interpreting this right?

© NATURALIZATION.—Section 319 (8 U.S.C. 1430) is amended—

(1) in the section heading, by striking ‘‘AND EMPLOYEES OF CERTAIN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS’’ and inserting ‘‘, EMPLOYEES OF CERTAIN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHER LONG-TERM LAWFUL RESIDENTS’’; and

(2) by adding at the end the following:

‘‘(f) Any lawful permanent resident who was lawfully present in the United States and eligible for work authorization for not less than 10 years before becoming a lawful permanent resident may be naturalized upon compliance with all the requirements under this title except the provisions of section 316(a)(1) if such person, immediately preceding the date on which the person filed an application for naturalization—

‘‘(1) has resided continuously within the United States, after being lawfully admitted for permanent residence, for at least 3 years;

‘‘(2) during the 3-year period immediately preceding such filing date, has been physically present in the United States for periods totaling at least 50 percent of such period; and

‘‘(3) has resided within the State or in the jurisdiction of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office in the United States in which the applicant filed such application for at least 3 months.’’.

Any LPR who has been on some other work visa for 10 years before becoming an LPR can be naturalized after 3 years.

So, for example, if you have been on H1 for 10 years due to PD retrogression, then get your GC, then you could naturalize in 3 years, if this becomes law.
