overseas naturalization for spouses of military members

[Rob & Chris 0]

Good day!

We are currently in the middle of waiting for our overseas assignment. I am just wondering if ever anybody here has an experience with filing for N-400 overseas? I have heard of expedited N-400 thru 319b, but it would mean that me and the kids would have to stay behind while we wait for the N-400 process to get done, while I've read thru the USCIS website that they have this new program of processing naturalization for spouses of military members overseas.

Requirements for Naturalization Abroad by Spouses of Members of the U.S. Armed Forces

I would like to ask if the processing is pretty much the same.

By the time that we might be getting our assignment/orders, it would also be the same time for me to be eligible to file for my N-400 as well. I am still thinking of whether we should just stay behind and process the N-400 in the States or follow-thru with the assignment and just file the N-400 overseas.

Any idea would definitely help. Thank you in advance.

Figured I'd dig this old thread out and hope that in the meantime somebody here has had some experience with the whole overseas naturalization process?

Can anybody tell me, how long (or how much longer) everything will approximately take? We are stationed in Germany (I am German, too) and I can send my N-400 any time now. I'm just thinking, if I have to send everything to Nebraska first and they then forward it to the Consulate in Frankfurt, it should take quite a bit longer than stateside for the interview and oath ceremony to be scheduled? I don't suspect I could be done by mid-August if I file in January?
