She has to be a GC holder for 5 years before she can file for citizenship (or within 90 days of 5 years I think). There are only a few exceptions that allow her to file in 3 years - so I think you will need to reexamine exactly when she will be eligible for her citizenship. Plus it may take approximately 1 year from when she files to actually become a citizen - by the time she files, the processing time may change, but right now I think it's approximately 1 year, not taking into account the sudden acceleration people experienced because of it being an election year.
