LPR-marries USC- can LPR get citizenship early?

[susie]

Hi

My son is a LPR and has been for almost 3 years

He is getting married to a USC shortly so does he still have to be a LPR for 5 years before getting citizenship?

Can anyone post link for information or know?

Thanks

Once
1. he has been an LPR for 3 years
2. has been married to a US citizen for a period of 3 years
and
3. that citizen has been a US citizen for 3 years

then he is eligible. (Actually he can apply 3 months (90 days) prior to that time)

Sappyconifer's information is correct.

In this circumstance, your son will be eligible for citizenship under the five-year rule before he will be eligible through marriage.
