Re: Citizenship

The date of initial admission as a conditional resident is the starting point in calculating when the noncitizen is eligible to naturalize. Thus, if your conditional resident card was issued in June 2006, your wife would be eligible three years from June 2006. Notably, there must not be a break in physical residence in the USA of more than six months to fulfill the residency requirement for becoming naturalized.
