When can a temporary u.s. resident who's married to a u.s. citizen, become a citizen in the U.S?
Answer:
Sadly right away.
Three years after receipt of the green card. The green card giving permanent resident status muct be gotten first.
I believe it is 5 years after obtaining a Green Card. Long wait, but worth it, good luck.
In general, applicants for naturalization must be permanent residents of the U.S. who have resided in the U.S. as greencard holders for a minimum of five years.
Those who are married to U.S. citizens or have served in the armed forces of the U.S. may, under certain conditions, qualify for naturalization after only three years of residency.
An applicant must be able to speak, read, write, and understand simple words and phrases in the English language. Some longtime, elderly permanent residents and applicants with certain disabilities are exempt from the English requirement.
Applicants are required to pass a short examination regarding the history and government of the U.S.
After you marry a US Citizen you have to apply for a Green Card, it can take up to 2 years, depending on the country you are filing from. Then, after you get your Green Card it takes 5 years, then and only then can you apply for Citizenship.
