Processing times depends on your Field Office. Some are quick (less than 6 months) while some in major big cities like Dallas, Seattle, Houston can take close to or longer than a year!

The green card expiration date has nothing to do with filing for citizenship.

 

If he meets ALL of the requirements to file at three years (including having been a permanent resident for at least three years minus 90 days), then he can file for citizenship 90 days before the three year mark.
