If you have a 10 year green card, I suggest that you wait 5 years after you received it then apply.

If you are not residing with your husband or you divorce, you will need to qualify based on 5 years of residency. Therefore, you can file 90 days before your 5th anniversary of residency.

You should wait until you have been a Lawful Permanent Resident for five years.

If you are still lawfully married, you can apply for citizenship under the 3-year rule. If not, then it is 5 years.
