Us citizen

A permanent resident who has held the status for five years can apply for US citizenship on his or her own. If married to a US citizen for three years, living together for three years, and the US citizen having US citizenship for three years, he or she can apply for citizenship after three years. There is nothing automatic to allow a permanent resident to become a US citizen just because he or she married one.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
