I have already mentionned the subject in the military forum, but I might get a better answer in this one so here it goes...

My husband (US citizen) just got offered a promotion. He works as a civilian for the Air Force and we would be moving to Germany.

I am currently on a 2 years greencard and can't apply to remove the conditions before July 2014.

I have read that naturalization in a case like this could be expedited (as otherwise I will spend ''too much'' time abroad per USCIS, which is why I am thinking about US citizenship right away if at all possible) as long as you qualify:

  • You must be a lawful permanent resident who is married to a U.S. citizen;
  • Your spouse must work for one of the following: the U.S. government; a specifically recognized American institution or public international organization; or an American corporation which is engaged in foreign commerce;
  • Your spouse must be “regularly stationed abroad,” meaning that he or she will be stationed abroad for at least a year from the time that you file for citizenship;
  • You must attend your citizenship interview and take your oath while in the U.S.; and
  • You must intend to come to the U.S. to live after your spouse’s employment overseas ends.

All of those apply to me, but could any of you who maybe had a similar experience confirm that I can do that? Even though I am only on a 2 years conditionnal greencard still... Knowing it's possible would be a huge relief. It is the only thing that prevents us from accepting the job offer right away. Thank you guys.
