A friend of mine married a US citizen, got her PR through marriage, but they subsequently divorced. She is now trying to get naturalization. If she has her PR for more than 5 years, does it matter that she is no longer with her husband? In other words, does she need him to file?

Dear Anonymous:

If your friend has been a permanent resident for more than 5 years, she can apply for naturalization, even if she is now divorced. Her ex-husband is not required to file anything. She only has to be married if she is applying under the 3-year rule. Good luck.

But will she get a citiesenship?
