S.1545
(a) IN GENERAL-
(1) CONDITIONAL BASIS FOR STATUS- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, and except as provided in section 6, an alien whose status has been adjusted under section 4 to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence shall be considered to have obtained such status on a conditional basis subject to the provisions of this section. Such conditional resident status shall be valid for a period of 6 years, subject to termination under subsection (b).
I think under the current version it is 6 years, then a person gets his Permanent residency.

We get out conditional green card for 6 years, with the conditions being finishing at least 2 years of college or 2 years in the military. After those 6 years, we get a 10 year GC without those 2 requirements. But we can use those first 6 years towards a citizenship application, if we choose to apply for it. The only difference is that we have to wait an extra year and either go to college or military. It is not a "restricted" GC, it just has conditions.

i could not find the 10 years you talked about. Could you tell me where you got that from ?
And yes, those 6 years counts towards citizenship application. Which means after you are done with the 6 year conditional residency, you can apply for naturalization.
So you could say in a way you get your citizenship in 6 to 8 years ( give or take).

(e) TREATMENT OF PERIOD FOR PURPOSES OF NATURALIZATION- For purposes of title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.), in the case of an alien who is in the United States as a lawful permanent resident on a conditional basis under this section, the alien shall be considered to have been admitted as an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence and to be in the United States as an alien lawfully admitted to the United States for permanent residence. However, the conditional basis must be removed before the alien may apply for naturalization.
