How long have YOU been physically present in the US? Have you been outside the US with your spouse for the past 11 months? If so, you may have caused your permanent residence status to be terminated due to abandonment as you are not supposed to be outside the US for more than 6 months at a time as a permanent resident. If you have not been outside the US for all that time, you will be eligible for naturalization once you have been a permanent resident for 3 years if you got your green card on the basis of marriage to a US citizen and if you have been physically present in the US for at least of that time. If you got your green card status through some other mean, you have to be a permanent resident for 5 years before you apply for citizenship.
