Answer 2

If you are at least 18 years old and:

Are currently married to and living with a U.S. citizen;

and

Have been married to and living with that same U.S.

citizen for the past 3 years;

and

Your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the past 3 years.

and you have been a Permanent Resident for 3 years (from the date on your green card)

and 3 years as a Permanent Resident without leaving the

United States for trips of 6 months or longer.

Answer 3

it depends, but i think about 2 years..you have to have proof, photos, same address, etc.

Answer 4

There is a time as LPR requirement to become a US citizen, along with other requirements.

If your adjustment of status to an LPR was based on a marriage to a US citizen, and you have been married to and living with that US citizen for the past 3 years and your spouse has been a US citizen for the last 3 years, then you need to have had 3 years as an LPR to meet this requirement. If you don't meet this composite requirement (say you'd been married for 3, but your spouse was only a citizen for 2) then you need to have been an LPR for 5 years.
