Wow

I am confused and perhaps I have not been reading the documents correctly

I had been under the impression that my husband could apply for citizenship 3 years after the AOS, which would occur 2 years after entry.... recently I have read that he may be eligible for citizenship at 3 years after he enters the us with his CR-1( hopefully shortly ... dare to dream!!!!) which is correct... advice anyone?

Hi,

The terms you are using don't really make sense, but the answer you are looking for is in the pinned post at the top of this forum; check there first.

sorry, let me clarify

we have applied for a IR1-CR1 so when he enters he will have a green card and in two years the conditions can be lifted...I am now assuming that he will be able to apply for citizenship 1 year after the conditions are lited as this will make 3 years as a permanent resident. I have been a bit confused as I had been told there was a five year requirement...

Oh, that makes it more clear. :)

He doesn't have to wait for the conditions to be lifted (approved I-751) to apply for naturalization, if he is otherwise eligible.

There is a "5 years as a PR" rule, but there is also a waiver of that rule for spouses of USCs.

All the details are in the pinned post at the top of the forum. You should work out the specific dates for yourselves, as well as be familiar with the other requirements for the N-400 application.
