My husband came on a K-1 sponsorship we got married, he got his green card. Can he apply for citizenship naturalization after the 3 years of our anniversary? I am a US citizen.

He can apply 90 days before being an LPR for 3 years. Look at the "resident since" date on his greencard; this is when he became an LPR. Your wedding anniversary does not matter.

Thank you, he became permanent residence on June of 2019, so its valid until June of 2021. Do I file to file for removal of conditions first then afterwards file for naturalization?  Thank you for your reply.

He will need to apply for Removal of Conditions now (within the 90 days before his conditional Green Card expires). This guide will walk you through that process: 

 And then when he is eligible, apply for naturalization (in March 2022 at the earliest). If ROC takes long and the N-400 goes fast, he may end up becoming a citizen before he receives a 10-year Green Card. Or he may have a combo interview for ROC and naturalization. No one knows. All you can do is file the right thing when eligible.
