Eligiblility for citizenship is based upon your immigration status, not the length of time you've legally been in the states. First you need to have a visa type that permits immigration. The H-1b is an example. F-1 students aren't eligible.

For more information on US immigration, go to my web site, www.dreamschools.com and look at the visa section. It's still under construction but it explains US immigration as much as one can.

Good luck.
