Generally, a Permanent Resident must wait five years after adjusting status before becoming eligible to apply for naturalization, but if the Permanent Resident has been a permanent resident for at least three years while married to a U.S. citizen spouse, then generally he/she may be eligible to apply for naturalization after only those three years (and note that an application generally can be filed as early as 90 days before the end of the 5-year or 3-year period). Of course, there are many other details that are involved in determining naturalization eligibility. It would be wise for you and your spouse to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.
