How long does it take for an asylee with a green card to apply for U.S. citizenship?

Question

I have been living about 7 years in the U.S. as an asylee. I received my US Permanent resident card in 2005. Now it is 2008, and I'm wondering when can I exactly apply for my citizenship.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

hi basically you can apply for the citizenship at least 5 yrs have been US permanent resident, you said u got your US greencard in 2005, u are not qualified right now.

however, if u grant your US greencard from getting married to US citizen who gets his/her citizenship at least 3 yrs, and u are still living with her/him at lest 3 yrs, then u can apply ur citizenship now.  hope it can help.

Answer 2

You need to be legally here for five years and then you can apply for citizenship.

You could have done it 2 years ago. Good luck.
