based on citizenship

[tundemafoo]

Sorry guys just want to asked one questions,can you file for your citizenship after 3 years being together with citizen of the country?

[cpatel6928]

NOOOOOO...you have to be married with good faith and have all documentation to prove it. That's the only way you can apply for citizenship based on 3 years rule.

Thanks for the reply..yes I was in marriage with good faith and we still together up to now with a son...just asking if I can do it cos am in middle of doing my 10 years GC..and we been marriage since 2011

Wait until you get your 10-year Green Card. The "2-year and 9-month" eligibility for Nauralization may come while you are waiting for your Removal of Conditions to be completed, and there doesn't seem to be a published rule that you must wait, but that is my suggestion.

Thanks yeah I was hoping to wait till after I get the 10 years GC and after a month receiving it I may now file for the citizenship or what do you think?

Rab B I don't really understand your msg..I'll appreciate it if you can explain it more clearly pls..

When you have the 10-year Green Card, and you are at least 2 years and 9 months from the "start date" shown on on the bottom of he card, you are okay to apply for Nauralization, if all other conditions are met ("continuous residency," etc.).
