You can either apply 3 years or 5 years from the date your became a Lawful Permanent Resident.
You can apply in 3 years if: your US citizen spouse petitioned for you as her husband; you were still married to this same person when you apply for US citizenship; and you are still married to her when you are sworn in as a U.S. citizen.
In all other cases, you have to wait the 5 years.
(well, let me add a caveat: there are a few exceptions, where someone can apply for US citizenship less than the 3 years, but involves highly specialized situations: military, overseas job assignment for us government agency or specific companies engaging in international work, etc.)
You can submit your application 90 days before either the 3 year or 5 year anniversary date.

After you get your greencard,you have to wait atleast 5yrs before you can apply for citizenship.And you have to be able to read and write english.Theres a written test you have to pass first.And you have to learn questions from american history.Good luck!

Well maybe learn a little bit more and correct English first.
Many mistakes in your question, but sure go for it.

I think you can, but here is a link to a web site. Take the test to see if you are eligible. It's free. Welcome to America!
