Frequently Asked Questions
Essential facts and requirements for Citizenship Test Preparation for Married Couples & Multi-National Families.
Q1Can my spouse and I use the same CitizenPrep account?
Yes! You can log into CitizenPrep on multiple devices (phones, tablets, computers) under the same account to review study guides and practice flashcards together.
Q2What is the 3-year rule for US spousal naturalization?
If you are married to a US citizen and have lived in marital union for at least 3 years, you may apply for naturalization under INA 319(a) after 3 years of permanent residency instead of the standard 5 years.
Q3Do couples take the citizenship exam together at the interview?
No. Immigration officers interview each spouse individually in separate examination rooms. That is why practicing independent verbal responses at home is so critical.
Q4Does the UK have a shorter waiting period for spouses of British citizens?
Yes. If you are married to a British citizen, you can apply for naturalisation immediately upon receiving Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), without needing to wait an additional 12 months.
