the 2-year conditional visa, is also the same as permanent residency right? so the two years is included in the 3-year eligibility for naturalization as permanent resident and married to a US citizen spouse?

Its not a visa, its a green card. The Green Card is the resident card.

You can apply for naturalization 3 years from the date printed on your resident card. As long as you are still married and living with the same person.

If you divorce you must wait 5 years to apply for naturalization.

What is the date printed on the green card? Is it the date it expires or the date it was given. I am confused, what I am asking guys is, if from the 2 year-conditional permanent resident card, if you say three years for those married to US citizen, that means after the expiration of the two year conditional permanent residency card, I wait another three years? or just one more year? thanks

The date printed on your GC is the date it was officially approved and issued - and from that date, you can apply for naturalization after three years. Or, I believe you can submit the application 90 days before the three year period is full.

The 2-year GC is the exact same thing as the 10-yr GC - besides for the 2-year vs. 10-year validity. The first one is conditional for people who have been married for less than 2 years, to make sure the marriage is bona fide and valid.

So - three years from the date printed on your FIRST Green card. You get the first one for 2 years, after those 2 years apply for removal of conditions, get the 10-yr GC, and after the first year has passed under the 10 yr GC you can apply for citizenship.
