First of all, you would have to get your green card first and that can take years.  You would have to prove a lot of information, provide pictures etc.  Then once you receive your temporary green card, you will have to go back after two years and prove that you're still married...then once you get your permanent residency you  have to wait three years...then the naturalization process takes FOREVER.  The BCIS or whatever it's called these days, is extremely unorganized.  If you get divorced after the two  year probation period, that's usually 'ok' but if it's before then, it's usually problematic.  Good luck!  I hope you're not getting married in order to become a naturalized citizen...it's just not worth the agony.

You must be a legal permanent resident for at least five years before you can apply and it takes about a year after you apply.

are you coming in with an immigrant vise or non-immigrant visa....b/c a non it probably would be 1-2 years at the most, Immigrnt would be good until you become a citizen...which takes 5 years unless you are getting married than it is 3 years until you are eligible to take the Citizenship tests

File a petition in the US for naturalization as US citizen.  Prove it by documents showing that you married an American citizen, had been living in the US for the past 29 years and had children who are  US citizens.

Legal, PERMANENT RESIDENTS(Green card holders) may enlist in the military.  the residency requirement for citizenship is waived or greatly reduced.  They can apply for citizenship I believe after one year, instead of the normal 5. All other requirements must be met.  It is not automatic, but it is greatly expeditited.\n\nNon citizens are restricted from jobs that require any kind of clearance, nor are they allowed to be Officers.   Once they get their citizenship, however, assuming they qualify in all other areas, they may Commission or get get a Clearance.

If, when you were born your father was a citizen, you may be eligible for citizenship. Ask an immigration lawyer or consular office.

You be better if you would have given a bit more information like are you LPR or illegal? If your a LPR than you have to stay within USA for 4yrs 9months before you can apply for citizenship technically you can say after 5 yrs you can apply for the citizenship. \nBut if your illegal but guess would be to marry an American citizen and get your status legalized first and after 3 yrs of marriage you can apply for the citizenship. Make sure that you do not marry for citizenship only but marry for good cuz when they will interview you for your LPR, trust me immigration officers are not nice when they see marriage case. If you get thru that than your good to go but keep in mind that if your wife does report you to the immigration that you married for LPR they still can deport you. that why i said do not marry for LPR or citizenship marry for good. \nGood Luck.

No, you can't . Most of these morons think that becoming a legal resident and citizen is an easy task, It's not.\nYou have to apply in your country of birth for legal residence,  doing so will take about seven to 10 years. to do that you must prove to have a clean record and have no convictions, you must show proof that you have the monetary capacity to live in your native land and pay for your food, clothing and place to live (which is a bit contradictory since most immigrants aim to come here because they lack this) after that you must have a background check and wait for this to clear. If you're lucky (and I do mean Lucky) you'll have an interview with someone at the American Embassy and depending on how that goes you may have to wait about a year to receive your "green card". All this is done while you live in your country, not here.\n\n\nGood luck

There is no "automatic" way to become a US Citizen unless you are 1) born in the country, or 2) born of US Citizens.\n\nEven adoptive parents have to apply for US citizenship for their children.

Yes.  You do not need to be a citizen, but you must be a resident.\n\n(1) Entered the United States on a permanent residence visa or has an Alien Registration Receipt Card (INS Form 1-551/I-551 greencard or stamped I-94), and\n\n(2) Established a bona fide residence, and\n\n(3) Established a home of record in the United States.

Assuming that person is a permanent resident (greencard), 3 years if he/she married a US citizen, 5 years otherwise.  \n\nThat person will also have to comply with all requirements for naturalization: be actually living in the US for a certain amount of time and not be in foreign country for too long, pay all taxes, not committing any crimes, etc.
