I have been an alien resident for over 5 years, I have recently sent my N-400 application to become a US citizen, How long will the whole process take before I can get my citizenship?
I understand it depends on number of factors, lets assume my application was correct, no mistakes, all documents provided.
I was talking to a person last night, he told me, his took less then three months. Based on him, INS hired more people to catch up. Is that ture? I have always heard 6-9 months.
Any help will be appreciated. Any one else out there who recently became a citizen?

Can you get a green card being married to a us citizen?
Yes you can become a citizen but it is not automatic because you married a US citizen. You have one thing going for you - your green card. You have to file form N400 - Naturalization papers with the INS to become a citizen. It might take a while because since 9/11, the US has tightened the whole immigration process and that's good. So, go to the INS home page, printoff the N400, read it carefully and thoroughly, and go from there. You might want to get some qualified help (Attorney, catholic charities, pro bono organizations for immigration, etc). Hope this helps Thank you for the help. i will have my girl try it out. her green cards expires in 2 years.
What are the steps a US citizen and an illegal alien should take in order to get married for the alien to obtain citizenship?
First you have to get married and get legal. The best and most recommended way is for the U.S. citizen to file for a fiance(e) visa for the immigrant first. If you go directly to the USCIS, tell them that your fiance(e) is still in his/her home country and not already in the U.S. illegally. Then when he/she enters with his/her fiance(e) visa, you, the U.S. citizen have 90 days to get married. After getting married the now immigrant husband/wife can file for Permanent Resident Alien Status ("green card"). After about 3 to five years after that he/she can apply for U.S. citizenship if he/she wishes.
