What's after adjustment of status?

[farazs1]

Hi,

It will soon be 2 years since my wife got her green card after adjustment of status.
What's the next step towards her becoming a US citizen?
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thank you,

Faraz

Well first, is she a conditional permanent resident (with a 2-year card) or a non-conditional permanent resident (with a 10-year card)? If she is a conditional permanent resident then she needs to apply for Removal of Conditions in the 90 day period before the 2 years ends.

For naturalization, if you're a US citizen and she has been married to you from before she became a permanent resident, then she can apply for naturalization under the 3-year rule when she's been a permanent resident for 3 years (so about a year from now); she can submit the application up to 90 days early. If not, she can apply for naturalization under the 5-year rule when she's been a permanent resident for 5 years; she can submit the application up to 90 days early. Of course naturalization is optional and she can decide to do it later or not at all.
