Once you have the Permanent green card you have to apply for citizenship, 3 months before you are eligible. If your spouce is a USC then you are eligible after 3 years of holding a green card, (from the date of issue of the conditional gren card) If your spouce is a LPR then the time is 5 years

If one wishes to become a US citizen read the INS guide to naturalization

You don't have to, you can. You can also elect to remain a Permanent Resident for the
rest of your life, or you can decide to live somewhere else and give up the GC. It is
up to you.
