If you got your GC from marriage, you can apply for citizenship in 3 years from the date you got approved. For other cases, the wait is 5 years.
From what i knew i can apply for them but it takes a long time as a LPR. just wondering if it takes longer applying when i am a LPR or wait till i get my citizenship. Thanks
You knew it from where?

That long time is the 3/5 years of waiting so then you are able to apply for US citizenship and then be able to apply for your parents and siblings. And for siblings the waiting is more than 10 years.
Good luck,

This is from the instructions on I-130
A. If you are a citizen, you may file this form for:
1) Your husband, wife or unmarried child under 21 years old;
2) Your parent if you are at least 21 years old;
3) Your unmarried son or daughter over 21 years old;
4) Your married son or daughter of any age;
5) Your brother or sister if you are at least 21 years old.
2) Your parent if you are at least 21 years old;
3) Your unmarried son or daughter over 21 years old;
4) Your married son or daughter of any age;
5) Your brother or sister if you are at least 21 years old.
B. If you are a lawful permanent resident, you may file this form for:
1) Your husband or wife;
2) Your unmarried child under 21 years of age;
3) Your unmarried son or daughter over 21 years of age.
2) Your unmarried child under 21 years of age;
3) Your unmarried son or daughter over 21 years of age.
In your situation, your I-130 would be denied if you apply for parents/siblings before you become a USC.
