I just got a green card about a week ago. how long do i have to wait to be an american citizen?

Question

my mom is married with her husband about 4 years now. he is an american citizen.

Answer 1

You can become a citizen after 5 years, 3 if you are married to an American citizen.

Answer 2

5 Years, but You have to live 2 1/2 years in the united state,  if you get married You will have your citizen after 3 years.

Answer 3

Depends on your age. If you were legally adopted by your Mom's husband you are now. :) Thanks to the newish law (8 CFR Part 320.2) Otherwise it depends again on your age.

Answer 4

You will qualify for citizenship 5 years after getting your green card.  I assume the man your mother married is not your father, so if your mother divorces within 2 years of getting her citizenship, her citizenship can be revoked for marriage fraud.  In that case, you both will return to your own country.
