INS QUESTION, granting green card?
Would it matter to the INS, if you are the spose of a american born citizen or of a naturalized citizen, and the time u have to wait to be granted legal resodency in the usa? Someone told me if u are married to us-born spose, it takes less time to be granted the green card than if u are married to a naturalized us citizen.

The INS closed down 9 years ago when USCIS was created. Together with ICE and CBP, it's part of the DHS.
A U.S. citizen is a U.S. citizen, whether natural-born or naturalized. There's no difference in processing time or otherwise.

Wrong info. Natural born citizen and Naturalized citizen are the same. Both US citizen. The only difference is the Naturalized citizen can not run for presidency, that's all.

A U.S. born citizen and a Naturalized U.S. citizen is seen as the one in the same by the USCIS.
The time frame is the exact same.
I think you are probably confusing the timeframe for a petition filed by U.S. citizen verses one filed by a Greencard holder, but this difference doesn't apply to your case.
