Marriage Based Citizenship time

[sunny8096]

Hi Everyone,

I have a conditional Green Card based on marriage to a US Citizen. Next month, I will be eligible to remove conditions (Form I-751) . I read some blogs that state that the processing time for I-751 is 9 - 12 months.

I have 2 questions -

1. Can I apply the 2 years of Conditional Green Card towards the three years of Green Card before filing for US citizenship?

2. If I-751 processing takes more than 12 months, can I still apply for US Citizenship or do I have to wait for my conditions to be removed?

Thanks

1. yes
2. yes, and in fact applying for naturalization might help speed up your Removal of Conditions
