if you remain married and living with your spouse, you can apply for citizenship, based on marriage after three years of becoming a LPR. On your own recognizance you can apply for citizenship after five years of becoming a LPR.

You can send the application in, about 90 days before these deadlines.

You can get more details on the link: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.2182d258012d5eb62b6859c7526e0aa0/?vgnextoid=3b1820bb82c39210VgnVCM10000025e6a00aRCRD&vgnextchannel=37decf2351488210VgnVCM10000025e6a00aRCRD

It counts from 2012. Your conditional greencard becomes permanent when you go through Removal of Conditions - ROC. Although during these initial two years are covered by a 'conditional' green card, they count for the purpose of citizenship.

Based on marriage to a US citizen you are eligible for naturalization after 3 years as a green card holder. You may apply no sooner than 90 days before eligibility.

Green card in 2012, eligible for citizenship in 2015.
