It is THREE YEARS. See http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=142696981298d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=d6f4194d3e88d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD
They must have good moral character and be married for all THREE years.
No. The person has to have been married for at least three years and have been a legal permanent resident for at least three years before s/he can APPLY for citizenship. Whether or not the person was "legal" when s/he got married has NOTHING to do with it.
s to all of these questions, gauranteed to be accurate, are available at http://uscis.gov. I've seen many references to a '3-year' waiting period, and to the best of my knowledge (check uscis yourself) that period is actually TWO years
