[tsy]

Hi,
I am a GC holder since 2005. I am a Registered Nurse and got my GC while entering US.

Can someone please answer my below questions.

When can I file for my US Citizenship. (How many years after my GC status I became eligible for citizenship)?

How long does this process of Citizenship would take?

Thanks in advance.!

1. 5 yrs if u didnt leave US for more than 6 months.Although,you can apply when you complete 4 yrs n 9 months.
2. No one can't answer that for you.It varies and can take 3-9 months on average.
Please read the naturalization guide as it explains the requirements and the whole process really well.Here is the link:
