Proving that an immigrant is maintaining a legitimate marriage relationship is also critical while doing naturalization. When a U.S. citizen sponsors their spouse for a green card, the law provides a special benefit to this application which is an expedited path to citizenship. If the immigrant takes this path, they can become a citizen within 3 years instead of 5 years. If, however, the immigrant is no longer married to their sponsor, they are no longer eligible for this expedited process.
