Q: I received the green card for 10 years. If I will be in separation with my husband
Can I apply for citizenship after 3 years or I have to wait 5 years?
If we will be in separation, will our son stay with me (mother)?
What if I would divorce my husband, can I apply for citizenship after 3 years or I have to wait 5 years?
A: If you separate from your husband, it will be better to wait five years. That way you won't be depending up him to become a citizen.

A:
If you wish to apply for naturalization in 3 years after receipt of the resident status, you will need to present proof of your marriage. If you divorce, you will need to wait the 5 years to file the FORM N-400.
The custody of your child can be determined by mutual agreement or by court decree.
Good luck to you.
