If you got got your green card by not being married to a US citizen it is 4 years and 9 months to apply for Citizenship, but if you obtained your green card through marriage you would have to be married at least three years to file for citizenship and submit your marriage certificate along with other documents, like your SS#card,State Driver Lic, Green Card (copies only do not send originals) the form (N-400 which cost $675, since prices went up on July 30, 2007)
