In order to get US citizenship the basic eligibility criteria is to be a green card holder for minimum 5 years and above the age of 18 years. The green card can be obtained when petitioned by a relative, through marriage or employer. If green card was got through marriage to a green card holder or US citizen its only minimum of 3 years of continuous physical presence in US to be eligible for naturalization.
