I need your help to apply for US Citizenship because my case is a
little bit different from the ordinary.
I entered USA on January 24, 2001 with fiancée visa K1. My husband is
an American Citizen since 1989. We got married on February 14, 2001
and we applied for CHANGE of STATUS on March 2001.I received my
working permit on August 13, 2001.
I was called for an interview on May 15, 2002 and they told me that
the case was approved and them written on my passport an "A" number.
To my surprise I never received a "Conditional Green Card".
The Green Card I received it on (not the "Conditional Green Card") May
9, 2003 with IF Category.
A base on USA Immigration Law, I am allowed to apply for US
Citizenship after three years of continue living in US and being
married with the same person. My change of status has been done on
March 2001. Because I never received Conditional Green Card with the
date when my status changed and because my actual green card shows the
date May 5, 2003 that make me impossible to apply at this time. Looks
like I was deprived of 2 years of residency.
I am very eager to become an American Citizen but I don't know if I
can qualify with my Green Card showing that I am a resident only since
May 5, 2003.
Could advise me what I should do in this situation.

Thank you very much for your help.
