3 years of marriage with the US citizen. Others might comment if OP is allowed to apply 90 days before meeting the 3 year anniversary.

3 years of marriage with the US citizen. Others might comment if OP is allowed to apply 90 days before meeting the 3 year anniversary.

The 90 days rule applies only to the continuous residency requirement. All other naturalization requirements (including, for marriage based cases, the requirement to have been married to a U.S. citizen spouse for 3 full calendar years) must be satisfied at the time of filing N-400.

So the OP needs until 3 full calendar years have passed since the marriage anniversary before submitting N-400.

The day AFTER your 3rd wedding anniversary, you can mail your N-400, if otherwise qualified.

Both. You need 3 years of marriage to a US citizen AND at least 3 years with a green card (minus 90 days for the green card anniversary, but not for the marriage anniversary).
