I'm a US citizen. My wife received her greencard. How long do I have to wait to apply for her US passport?

The Greencard expires in exactly 2 years. When should I apply for her naturalization? I thought I had to wait 3 years after she receives her GC? But the expire date on the card is 2 years...what should I do?

You have to wait 3 years to apply for the green card.

You have to apply for removal of conditions 90 days prior to the 2 year green card's expiration. Then in another year she can apply for naturalization. After she has the naturalization certificate, she can apply for a passport.

Your spouse has a conditional green card. You will file to remove conditions 90 days (and not one day sooner) prior to its expiration date. She will receive a 10 year green card. She is eligible to apply for citizenship based upon her marriage to you 90 days prior to the three year anniversary of her "LPR since date".
