Got me Greenie in Tampa
We had our green card interview on december the 10th and it all went pretty smoothly. The lady interviewing us was professional perhaps because she was training someone during our interview :p Got the passport stamped and a 2 year conditional sent in the post!
Side note, We didnt have any joint accounts setup however she did look at all our photos and stuff plus my job offer letter. I heard a rumour that Obama will make it easier for green card holders to become naturalized, is this true? Thanks. |

The requirements are pretty easy just now, so how much easier do you want it? Currently you can apply for naturalization after being a PR for 5 years (or 3 years if married to a USC). Those seem to be pretty simple requirements.

3 years not including the 2 years of the conditional green card? Meaning does the 2 years of my conditional green card go towards the tally?
And Congratulations! :) Rene |

When is the expiry date on your 2-year GC? Remember you'll have to lift conditions on this (I-751). Apply within the 90 day time-frame before the expiry date on the 2-year card. You'll should then if all is OK get a 10-year card (you're still legal of course after 10 years. The card expires but your status doesn't - unless you commit an inappropriate crime...). |

Rene's reply is much clearer than mine! Thanks!

I knew what you meant here, but just to be clear for the OP, there are 2 requirements here (among others): 1. You must have been a PR for 3 years minus 90 days (including the conditional status); and 2. Your marriage to the USC must be MORE than 3 years old. Rene |
Re: Got me Greenie in Tampa
Thanks, Rene.
That's why your reply was much clearer than mine! Generally because of the USCIS processing times the marriage will be much longer than 3 years before the non-USC can apply for N-400 (as the 'official' date that one actually becomes a LPR is usually quite some time after the marriage). As you say there are 2 things in operation here.... |
Re: Got me Greenie in Tampa
Sept 11th 2010 is the time they told me apply to have my conditions removed so 11th December 2010 is when it expires.
