Can I apply for citizenship?

I received my green card in 2003 and I moved to the US permanently in 2004. When can I apply for citizenship?

The short answer is yes! You are eligible to apply now, since you have been a legal resident since 2003 and lived continuously since 2004. Naturalized citizenship is a process that takes about 6-9 months on the average, from the time all paperwork is filed with the USCIS, and I would be pleased to set up an appointment to explore the start of the process, should you desire the services of an attorney such as myself. If that is something you would like to do, please by all means call or e-mail me

You are eligible to apply for US citizenship now if you have not left the US for more than one year since you relocated here in 2004. For more detail, please contact me.
