USC can travel any time, USC does not need to file for CR1 from foreign county.

USC can file for CR1 once they are back in US or in your case if you filed from your home country than USC can return to US if (s)he wants to return back.

USC is not required during anytime of the CR1 process, USC is not required during interview either.

If you live abroad and have a permanent address there use that address. Your petition will be appoved in couple of weeks. If u file using a us address itll take 5-6 months

Correct you are.

Mine was two weeks, have to have the money to support yourself though, but it's quick.
