my fiancee has a degree in criminal justice but shes not a citizen, most jobs require citizenship in that field, we were wondering how long does it take to get citizenship after we got married?
Generally speaking, adjustment of status interviews at U.S.C.I.S. field offices take approximately five – seven months. Assuming that all goes well, your wife would be eligible for naturalization three years from the date of her approval as long as you have been a citizen for three years, you have both married for three years, and you have been living together for the three years. She would be allowed to file the naturalization application 90 days before the third year ends.
