If you received your green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen and are still married, you can file for citizenship 3 years from the date that your green card was issued, not from the date of your marriage. I hope this helps.

In order to apply for naturalization based on marriage to a US citizen, you must have obtained permanent residence through that citizen and maintained that status for at least three years.

I am a bit confused as to your timeline and situation, but if you are not a permanent resident and reside abroad, it seems you do not qualify for the citizenship.
