When can I apply for my citizenship? Am green card holder for 10yrs, whose divorce and remarried.

An applicant for naturalization must establish he/she meets certain requirements, including good moral character, physical presence and continuous residence, and knowledge of the English language, and U.S. civics. If you held Permanent Residence for 10-years, you should meet the physical presence and continous residence requirements, so long as you don't have many absences from the United States. The fact you remarried does not mean you need to re-start your eligibility clock.

Your divorce and remarriage should have no effect on whether you are eligible for naturalization if you have been a green card holder for 10 years. However, the way your post is worded ("am a green card holder good for 10yrs") may actually mean you have not been a green card holder for 10 years but that you have a green card that is valid for 10 years. You can review the Guide to Naturalization to see whether you have met the requirements for naturalization. The Guide is free at the website for USCIS: www.uscis.gov . Use the search function at that site to find the Guide. You should review your specific facts with your attorney to see what legal options you have.

I agree with my colleagues. If you are otherwise eligible (as they describe) you should have been able to file for naturalization 5 years ago. You can certainly do so now. Best to at least consult with an attorney to make sure you dot all the I's and cross all the t's. Good luck!

As long as you meet the other eligibility requirements you can apply for Citizenship five years after the issue date listed onyour greencard. Andre Olivie, Esq. 206-724-1940 www.olivielaw.com
