Green Card

My GC application (marriage-based) was approved last December in Pittsburgh and I
received that fabulous card in the mailbox early March. (Three months, not bad!)

Anyway, my question is: How long does it take now to get a US citizenship? Any
pointer to a useful website for this matter will be greatly appreciated. My GC was
approved exactly on Dec. 7, 2000. Assuming the best possible scenario, when is the
earliest date I can get the citizenship? Is it 3 years or 5 years from Dec. 7, 2000?

Much thanks in advance for any help.

I think it's 4 years, at least that's what I've always been told.

If it's marriage based it's 3 years from the time you received your first greencard
(conditional or otherwise). If it's not marriage based then I believe it's 5 years
(or at least it was 5 years).

Cheers, Evan

Of course that's not including time for going through the process and all that. :P
I'm sure you could probably tack on an extra year or two depending what center you
end up dealing with, just like with AOS.

It is 3 yrs (less 90 days) from the date of APPROVAL (not marriage) - for marriage
based green cards.

You can apply three years less 90 days from Dec. 7 2000 - roughly (and I haven't
calculated the date accurately) September 8th 2003. Obviously there will be the
processing time on top of that.

the INS website actually has a very nice naturalization section with lots of
information: http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/se...natz/index.htm
