After marriage to US citizen the alien spouse gets conditional resident status with 2 years validity. To remove the conditions on residence 90 days before conditional status expires Form I-751 should be filed and so spouse gets permanent residence status or green card. After three years as a green card holder Form N-400 should be filed for naturalization following which he/she becomes a US citizen.
