Even if I came here on a spousal visa K1 (back in 2000) is it alright to apply for naturalization as "Have been a Permanent Resident for the past 5
years and have no special circumstances" as it seems easier than the "Currently married to and living with a U.S. citizen; and
Been married to and living with that same U.S. citizen for the past 3 years; and Your spouse has been a U.S. citizen for the past 3 years." as I have been a permanent resident since 2001?
I am still married to the same US spouse.
I just seems easier to go the 5 year route do you think?
Another reason is that my kids in Australia just aged out of child support (this month) so I wouldn't have to mess with providing proof of child support payments etc.

thanks
