And as usual you can apply 90 days in advance. Hopefully your card will arrive soon. And whilst I\'m celebrating, any chance \'the bear\' may be arriving also..... ? If you dig a bit deeper you can find this information:

which says:
Generally, certain lawful permanent residents married to a U.S. citizen may file for naturalization after residing continuously in the United States for three years if immediately preceding the filing of the application:
- the applicant has been married to and living in a valid marital union with the same U.S. citizen spouse for all three years;
- the U.S. spouse has been a citizen for all three years and meets all physical presence and residence requirements; and
- the applicant meets all other naturalization requirements.

And as usual you can apply 90 days in advance. Hopefully your card will arrive soon.

And whilst I\’m celebrating, any chance \’the bear\’ may be arriving also….. ?

Now you're legit. So you'll be applying for citizenship when? October? I thought you had to have had a greencard for 5 years before you could do that? http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/general.htm An applicant is eligible to file if, immediately preceding the filing of the application, he or she: - has resided continuously as a lawful permanent resident in the U.S. for at least 5 years prior to filing with no single absence from the United States of more than one year; I guess I can be expecting mine pretty soon too! Feels like the race to citizenship is on! Congrats dude! Now you’re legit. So you’ll be applying for citizenship when? October?
