I believe that means that you have to have been a permanent resident for at least 3 years before filing for citizenship.
 
Man... you are out of touch with immigration for a Desi... its not INS anymore, not has been for 8 or 10 years I guess, its USCIS 🙄

Linflas, above, is correct.

I'd plan up to a 1year but I think they are averaging about 3-6months right now (used to be about 1-1.5year average). A lot of it depends on the local office and how busy they are.
 
it annoys me when someone use INS instead of USCIS. it is a guarantee that the questions will be toward the dumb side.

naturalization for spouse is only 3 years instead of the normally 3 years.

Wife of USA Citizen could have applied 90 days before the 3 years due date. Applying for citizenship to swearing in ceremonies now usually takes <6 months these days, in the Chicago area anyway.

Just applied for the wife (Green Card holder since 1981) in June. Fingerprint appt came within a month, interview appointment and oath day came within three months. Got her citizenship papers in November. Not a bad turnaround time, I was thinking it would be longer.
 
I just wonder, which way got Green Cards Goerge Washington, Christopher Columbus and some others?
Were they married with Native American women?

He doesn't look like a Native Indian...who were his parents? Illegalls from Europe?

My point being that he was born here...the natives themselves are supposed to have migrated here over time too, so when is the cut-off? You're either born here, or you're not.

Where then his parents were from, and where his parents were born?

Looks, like you know some of history....

Natives migrated here over the time too?
What? you think, you can deport native americans to where they have migrated over the time? TO WHERE THEY WHERE BORN? Maybe in Europe?

lol. Everyone on the internet wants an argument. I simply stated he was born here to add to the discussion. Deporting a native who obviously was born here makes about as much sense as deporting a man born here by a non existant legal system (the Native's) requiring a non existant green card.
