US Citizenship General Discussion	Pergatory!	hi even though your wife is thinking of becoming a u.s. citzen she has to remove conditions and start that within the 90 day timeframe prior to expiration of her 2 year greencard.. i found this in the guides for removing conditions for you that might explain it better for you If you fail to properly file the Form I-751 (Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence) within the 90-day period before your second anniversary as a conditional resident, your conditional resident status will automatically be terminated and the USCIS will order removal proceedings against you. You will receive a notice from the USCIS telling you that you have failed to remove the conditions, and you will also receive a Notice to Appear at a hearing. At the hearing you may review and rebut the evidence against you. You are responsible for proving that you complied with the requirements (the USCIS is not responsible for proving that you did not comply with the requirements). so first you have to remove conditions then apply for naturalisation... hope that was some help kath	Kath	Female	Australia	2007-07-26 21:57:00
