Well, you need half of the last three years if you've been married to a US citizen for those three years, so at least 547 days in the past 3 years. But, it'd be better if you wait. What does your continuous residence look like. Under the 5 year rule, you definitely don't qualify.

Have you checked the eligibility guide? Do you qualify under the 3 year rule?https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/article/M-476.pdf
Under the 5 year rule, with so many days, you do NOT qualify, but if you spent most of that time outside during your first two years as a permanent resident, you might qualify under the 3 year rule.
When did you marry the US citizen, and have you taken any trips of over 6 months? If so, when?

Thanks again for your fast reply back!
I AM qualified under the 3 years rule but the document I have wants me to specify 5 years travel time and not 3. Most of the time I was outside of the USA. But now been living here for almost 18 months straight. What do you think I should do?
