When can you apply for us citizenship?

Answer 1

Whenever you either a) have a job offer in the US with a company that is willing to sponsor you. b) have a fiance or spouse that is willing to sponsor you. c) win the green card lottery (bear in mind some countries do not qualify for this lottery). d) have any immediate family ie: sister, mother, etc that is willing to sponsor you. All of these options require a mountain of time consuming paper workand more often than not they have about 50 different visa's for the same thing. It's usually best to look up all of the different visas available through US Immigration and see which one fits your situation best. Or ask an immigration lawyer, sometimes the internet explanations get overwhelming and confusing.
