Legal Question in Immigration Law in Connecticut

As a general ruke, a permanent resident has to be a resident for at least 5 years before applying for naturalization. If married to a US citizen, this term is 3 years, but the marriage itself should be at least 3 years also. This means that he will become eligible for naturalization in 2 years based on normal 5-year residency requirement sooner than waiting for 3 years of marriage.
