I heard from numerous people and lawyers its 3 months. However what i recommend is depending on the state u are in u can call and make an appointment to speak to an actual immigration officer. I made an appointment online and there was availability within two weeks. I went to the office , u have to print out the appointment confirmation paper and bring it in, and then u take a number and they will call u. Its free and its not timed. You can get the most accurate information from them,but im 99% sure its 3 months. Good luck

The best information you're going to get is on the USCIS website itself.

You can calculate the date on which you are allowed to send in your application using the early filing calculator on this link: http://www.uscis.gov/early-filing-calculator

Of course, you have to meet all of the other requirements outlined in the naturalization guide: http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/M-476.pdf
