When Can I Apply for US Citizenship After Marriage?

New York Immigration Lawyer Explains Naturalization Process for Spouses of US Citizens McBean Immigration Law, a firm recognized as one of the "Best Lawyers in America," recently released a short video explaining the naturalization process for those married to US citizens. The video clarifies a common point of confusion for many immigrants: the timing of eligibility for naturalization after obtaining a green card through marriage. "If you've gotten your two-year green card through your spouse, you can absolutely file for naturalization at the three-year mark of being a resident," says the lawyer in the video. "It doesn't really matter how long you've been together for this naturalization purpose. As long as you've been a resident and had your green card for three years, then you can seek naturalization." The video emphasizes that this information is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. The firm encourages viewers seeking legal assistance to contact them directly. The video's simple presentation and clear explanation make the complex topic of immigration law more accessible to a wider audience. This is particularly helpful for immigrants navigating the often confusing process of obtaining US citizenship.
