If you have a 10 year green card, I suggest that you wait 5 years after you received it then apply.

If you are not residing with your husband or you divorce, you will need to qualify based on 5 years of residency. Therefore, you can file 90 days before your 5th anniversary of residency.

I recommend you get a second opinion from another immigration attorney. Please play it safe. Please file your N-400 not more than three months (90 days) before the fifth anniversary of your becoming an LPR. You don't want a "marriage fraud" deportation due to a bad N-400.
