if you got your Legal Resident when you were 13...Don't matter the age that you got it just that you have to wait 5 years since you become resident 2002 in 2007 you can apply for your citizenship...You have to free of felony of any crime what so ever .
Another thing is that the whole 5 years you have to be living here in the States...Not outside of States...Thats why they say 5 years living as a Legal Resident...Good luck!!!! I got my yesterday it feels great to became an American citizen...God bless the USA!!!

There's no law, you can apply to become a citizen 5 years after you became a permanent resident. Go to the INS web site for more info.

I suggest that you check USCIS.GOV and read the paragraph how can I acquire citizenship? or requirements for citizenship. There are many issues involved.
My recommendation wait until you turn 18 and paid your taxes on time.

Apply for naturalization and take and pass the test!
