Apply for citizenship eligible

[kalyangondhi]

Aug 2013 I will complete 5 years of PR and I will be eligible to apply citizenship. can I apply for citizenship in May 2013 under 4years and 9 months? in the USCIS website it says you need to wait for 5 years, do I need to wait for 3 months gap also?

If you fulfill all the other requirements (like physical presence, etc.) you can file up to 90 days before reaching the 5-year mark (note that it is 5 years minus 90 days, not 4 years 9 months; there is a difference.)
