1. 2 years conditional Green Card.

2. First you need to file ROC for your 2 years conditional Green Card.

Then you could file for US Citizenship based on the requirement below:

• Have been a permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 3 years
• Have been living in marital union with the same U.S. citizen spouse during such time

Thank you so much for your reply

so after 2 years i will file ROC (90 days before my green card expires) and after ROC, in a year i can file for citizenship? does that 2 years count? or i have to wait 3 more years after ROC?

The two years count towards citizenship.

There have been numerous cases here of people filing for naturalisation whilst their RoC was still pending; this usually forces USCIS to adjudicate the ROC I-751 early before the N-400 can be processed.
