When does permanent residence start regarding the application for naturalization time-clock?

 

For example, my wife arrived in the US  July of 17 and we were married July of 17, immediately applied for the green card, which puts us in the 3 year time frame, but her 2 year green card arrived in February of 18, which puts us outside of the time frame. I am figuring that we have to wait until february to submit the NS-400

3 years starts from the date the green card was APPROVED........the "resident since" date on the card.....not the date she applied for the Green Card.

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Date on green card is Feb 18, 2018, therefore, I should submit the NS-400 February 19 of 2018----correct? 

November 20th, 2020 is the first day she can file (90 days prior to the 3 year mark).  I would wait until November 22 or so.
