I just removed the condition of my PR status, after a divorce and application on my own. The marriage with my ex was less than 2 years, and ended not because of my fault (I know this doesn't matter, just so you guys don't throw stones at me). Now my question is, when can I apply for citizenship, is it 5 years from now, or 5 years from the time I got my conditional green card? It matters because I would like to sponsor my new (future) spouse down the road.

Thanks all!
 
Thx you two. Some say it makes a difference whether you complete those 2 years or not - that is, if you applied to remove the condition on your own, the 5 years countdown restarts when you have it removed. Just want to confirm that it's not true.
 
That's definitely not true. It's still the same 5 years minus 90 days from your conditional card was approved.

Getting divorced just means you cannot use the 3-year rule, you have to use the regular 5-year rule.
