Check your green card for "Residence since"...

You can apply for naturalization after 2 years and 9 months point.

It requires 3 years since you became lawful permanent resident when you keep marring with American Citizen, but it allow to apply 90 days before you meet 3 years requirement.

You may want to check M-476 along with N-400 form.

If you could apply for the N-400 on your 3rd wedding anniversary, wife would have been a USC a year ago, but the USCIS didn't attend our wedding to give her a green card for that special day for us. They kind of waited to past our 1st wedding anniversary for that green card gift. (Actually, we had to pay a small fee for it to cover postage and handling, oh boy, that handling.)

But they actually go by the 3rd anniversary of your green card date, but you can send your application in up to 90 days before that date.

Just a different way of saying the same thing moonhunt said.
