you have to be a permanent resident for 5 years and the process takes anywhere from 3 - 6 months

Marriage based citizenship is 3 years after getting married to a USC and 3 years as a LPR. Spouse must be a USC for the last 3 years. For all others it is 5 years as long as you have maintained the required residency requirements and presence in the US. Check the USCIS website for becoming a US citizen and see what situation applies to you.

You can file the N-400 3 months BEFORE your 3years (or 5 years if not married to a US citizen) period of Permanent residency. Look at your green card. Look at the "permanent resident since..." date. 90 days before the 3 year or 5 year anniversary of THAT date,

My wife became a permanent resident January 15, 2009. We filed her N-400 in November 2011, she had her citizenship interview February 1, 2012 and will get her oath April 9, 2012. A little over 4 months from when we filed. I thought that was very fast, some people seem to be taking longer.
