3 Years of Continuous Residence. The spouse of a U.S. citizen residing in the United States must have continuously resided in the United States as an LPR for at least 3 years immediately preceding the date of the filing the application and up to the time of the Oath of Allegiance.
No, marriage to an American citizen does not confer automatic citizenship or immigration status. Marriage to an American citizen lets that citizen petition their government to allow their spouse to immigrate, ie to apply for permanent residency (``green card'').
Submitting Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, is the first step to help an eligible relative apply to immigrate to the United States and apply for a Green Card.
You may file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, 90 calendar days before you complete your continuous residence requirement if your eligibility for naturalization is based upon being a: Permanent resident for at least 5 years; or. Permanent resident for at least 3 years if you are married to a US citizen.
An unmarried US citizen cannot petition for his/her partner to receive an immigrant visa and green card. A US citizen may petition only for his/her legally married spouse, children, parents, or siblings.
To qualify for U.S. citizenship through marriage, you must meet the following requirements: Permanent Residency: You must be a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for at least three years. Marital Union: You must be married to and living with your U.S. citizen spouse for the entire three-year period.
Getting citizenship through marriage is faster. Normally you would have to wait 5 years after you get a green card to apply for citizenship, however when you get your green card through marriage it, you only have to wait 3 years.
Ahh, the persistent myth that if someone marries a US citizen they will automatically receive citizenship. Thank you Hollywood for keeping this idea alive. No, you do not automatically become a US citizen by marrying one, regardless of your immigration status, nor do you bypass the naturalization process by doing so.
You can apply for US citizenship after 3 years if you are a permanent resident (Green Card holder) and have been married to and living with the same US citizen spouse during that time. Otherwise, most Green Card holders must wait 5 years before applying for naturalization.
