hello everyone, I am wondering how long will it take to get us citizenship after one apply for it through asylum greencard? I know normally it takes about six months for nepalese in houston once they apply for it. however, will it be different for somebody who has green card through asylum? i am thinking it may have different waiting line . does anybody has experience on this regard? thanks .

I heard green card holders through asylum are not eligible for citizenship naturalization process. Please check it.

Typically it requires 5 years in green card status before you can apply for citizenship (3 years via marriage). Asylums with GC holders can apply for citizenship after having GC for 4 years.

Hello Ark, where you got that information from? I do not see any such provision in uscis website otherthan 3 and 5 yrs rule. I know, once one is granted asylum , they have to wait one year to apply for greencard and when they get greencard, it will be dated one year back compensating the year one wait to apply for greencard. are you talking about that ? or , I can apply after 4 year from the date i have on my greencard? can you share ur experience in detail? thanks.

@sgautam1 The one year one waits as asylum to get the GC will be counted toward 5 year requirement. So asylums can apply for citizenship 4 years after they get the GC. http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/when-asylee-refugee-can-apply-us-citizenship.html Regarding the processing time, it does not matter whether you apply through asylum gc or any other types of GC, it's the same processing times.
