Isaacb20, you can apply for citizenship 90 days before your 3 years anniversary of being permanent resident. Use this link and calculate when you are eligible to apply for your citizenship...http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/dateCalculator.html Good luck to you.

You can send in your application 90 days before the 3rd anniversary of the Resident Since date on your application IF:

1- your spouse has been a citizen for 3 full years on the day that you apply

AND

2- you have been married for 3 full years on the day that you apply

AND

3- you meet the physical presence and continuous residence requirements described in the USCIS naturalization guide (M476)
