This bill modifies naturalization rules for spouses of active-duty military members by eliminating a standard three-month state residency requirement before they can apply for U.S. citizenship. Currently, most applicants for naturalized citizenship must live in the same state or immigration service district for at least three months before filing their citizenship application. The legislation would waive this waiting period specifically for spouses of service members stationed anywhere in the United States, recognizing that military families frequently relocate to different states for duty assignments. The bill affects permanent residents married to active-duty armed forces personnel and has no specified funding or implementation timeline beyond its enactment.
