USCIS has clarified the naturalization application process for spouses of U.S. citizens, stating that applicants generally must be lawful permanent residents for at least three years before filing Form N-400. This clarification is particularly relevant as applications may be filed up to 90 days early under the marriage-based rule. The information is crucial for those planning to apply during the Biden administration, as the application process can take several months.

- Applicants must be lawful permanent residents for at least 3 years before filing.
- Form N-400 can be filed up to 90 days in advance under marriage-based rules.
- Processing times for naturalization applications can extend over several months.
