I received my green card thorugh Marrige. I received my two years conditilnal removal letter yesterday. On that letter it says I am residence since 12/2011. So, I was wondering when I can apply for the citizenship, since my condition is removed now.

Any post is appreciated. Thank you.

90 days before the date in 12/2014, provided you're not out of the country too long and stay married to the same USC spouse during this time.

Both must apply: 3 years resident and 3 years married to the same person. As Caryh pointed out, you can apply 90 days prior to the date your "resident since" date reads.

I have the similar question. I got married last Feb 2011. I got my green card on June 2011. My conditional status was lifted last year - June 2013. Does it mean I'm already eligible to apply for citizenship since June this year (2014)? I wasn't sure if the conditional permanent status for 2 years counted against the permanent residency. Could you please confirm? Thanks.

You were eligible to file back in March 2014. You can file naturalization NOW if you are still married to same spouse.
