If you have a green card you can apply after 5 years of residency. You need to take a test, etc., but that is true.
This site is the source you want, look at the right hand list of services including those for 'new immigrants' and for 'immigration and naturalization'.

A green card gives you permanent residency which means that you have the same rights as a citizen only you cannot vote or hold public office. Typically, within a few years, you can petition for naturalization and get your citizenship. There are many green card holders who wish choose not go for citizenship...I know one who has lived here for 20 years.....
