If you obtained U.S. Permanent Residency through marriage, you must have lived in the U.S. 1.5 years out of the past 3 years. If other than marriage, 2.5 years out of the past 5 years. Since you have been in the United States for the past 3 years, it appears you meet the residency requirement either way. Thus, you can file your N-400 now. Good luck.
