You must have resided legally in US as a resident for five years before you can apply. Or three years if you are married to US citizen. The time spent residing in US matters a lot when applying for citizenshhip. If you arrive in US through diversity visa, you have five years to qualify to apply.

In that immigrants from foreign countries can obtain citizenship after residing in the United States legally for a given period of time, (the length of time required for residency has changed periodically by Acts of Congress).
