Three years eligibility for citizenship rule applies when an LPR has lived with a USC in a valid feasible marriage for three years after becoming an LPR and while the spouse was a USC all this time. Provided you are still in that marriage when the application is made.

Mr. Segal is correct. You have to be married for 3 years to a USC before applying and until you naturalize. How you got your Green Card is irrelevant.

You must be married and living together for three years after you obtained your permanent residence.

An LPR must be married to their USC spouse 3 years immediately before filling for Naturalization.
