If you received your green card as a result of your marriage to a U.S. citizen, you will be eligible to naturalize after 3 years from the date you received your green card.

Three years after you became a resident. The date is indicated on your green card. You can apply 90 days prior to the third year anniversary.

If you got a 10 year green card, you may not have needed to get a conditional green card. If you are still married to a US citizen spouse and have been a permanent resident for 3 years then you are eligible to apply for naturalization.

3 years when you got the first green card - 2 year card or 10 year card. You may be able to file 90 days early.

If your wife is a US citizen and petitioned for you to get your green card you can apply for your naturalization once you have had your green card for 3 years.

You can apply for citizenship three years from the date you became a permanent resident if you were married for the entire time.
