The general answer to this is that a person must live in
the United States for five years before the person is eligible to become a US citizen.
Please note that this is not technical legal advice, just a general
answer.
I should say that a person must generally live five
years in the US as a legal, permanent resident before being allowed to apply for
citizenship. A permanent resident is what is usually referred to as the holder of a
"green card."
There are various rules about how much of the
five years a person can spend outside the US, but the idea is that the US must be your
permanent home for five years before you can apply.
