Hello, before you can become a US citizen, you will first need to apply for an adjustment of status, which is commonly known as a green card. If you are marreid to a US citizen you can file for your green card asap, and adjust your status without leaving the U.S. Once you obtained your green card you can apply to become a US citizen after 3 years, if your husband assuming your husband is a US citizen.
