On his green card there is a "date since", or something similar. This is considered the date he officially became a Permanent resident. He is eligible to apply for citizenship 90 days before the third year anniversary of this date. HTH

Thats so unfair because some people get the green cards so soon and after 3 years they are here for good just b/c we had to wait 2 years now we are paying another penality. This sucks

What's fair, due to delays on our initial applications taking well over a year, my step daughter wouldn't have turned 18 before my wife could apply for her citizenship so now she has to wait the two additional years, and we have to pay that extra 600 and some bucks. Not a thing you can do about it, contacted both the USCIS and my senator, it's the law.
