Confused about when I can actually file for citizenship

[photomile 101]

I arrived in the US on a K1 on September 5th, 2012. I then received my two year conditional green card on 08/14/2013 after being approved on 08/05/2013.

 

I was married, and applied for Removal of conditions and was subsequently approved on 01/07/2016 and received the card on 01/15/2016. 

 

I have since gotten divorced. The divorce happened after I was approved for removal of conditions. I have not sent any notification to the USCIS about this as it appears I didn't have to. 

 

I know that I have to be a permanent resident for five years and I can file 90 days before that five year anniversary date. 

 

What I'm confused about is this;

I've had a green card since August 2013. Does that mean I have been a permanent resident for five years and can apply for citizenship on May 7th 2018 (90 days before August 5th, my five year anniversary) ?

 

or, does it mean that I have to have been a permanent resident for five years AFTER I have conditions removed, in which case I can only apply for citizenship on October 9th 2020 (90 days before January 7th 2012, my five year anniversary after removal of conditions) ?

The first one.

You can apply in 2018. It's from the date you got your green card, regardless of whether it was a conditional or a permanent one.

Thanks everyone! That's sooner than I thought. Better start studying then!
