Q: Should I apply for Naturalization before my I-751 is processed?
Hi, I have a 2 year green card with 18months extension letter. I got my green card through marriage. It's almost 3 years now since I am a permanent resident and while my I-751 is still not processes I know I can apply for naturalization - which may speed up my green card process. The only issue is that me and my husband may divorce by the time my naturalization application will be processed. Should I just wait for my condition to be removed from my green card?
A: You can apply. Just know nothing will happen on your application until your I-751 has been approved
