After having permanent residence four years nine months, you can file if you're not with your husband in marital union. You also need to live in the jurisdiction of the office where you file for three months before filing. There are other requirements for citizenship and this email doesn't address those as issues concerning them are not raised.

The above is general information, it is not legal advice and it doesn't form an attorney client relationship. For further information, contact me at 818 609 1953 or [email protected].
