crazeekru Posted June 25, 2013 Author Report Posted June 25, 2013 Well, this is my wife's status: She got GC in Jun 2010 and was out of USA ( in India) for period of Mar 2021 to Dec 2012. When she left usa in March 2012 she filed for re entry permit for 2 yrs as she didnt plan to come back but she came back to usa in Dec 2012. My wife's relatives filed for her green card quite a while ago and she got the green card in june 2010. We got married in Dec 2012 and she flew back to USA with me. ( I am on H1B visa). I want to know when can she file for citizenship through Nnaturalization.
JoeF Posted June 25, 2013 Report Posted June 25, 2013 A person has to be an LPR for 5 years before being eligible for naturalization. There is an exception for spouses of US citizens, in that case 3 years as LPR are required. There are also a couple other requirements. The USCIS website has all the information.
