So she came here in jan of 2013, i'm deploying next year on a MEU, can we go ahead and apply for a citizenship since i'm active duty in the military? we were under the impression that she had to wait her 3 years, but people are saying otherwise.

Time Line:

April 13th 2012 Vermont Service Center received our application. (e-notification)
April 20th NoA1 received in mail.
October 17th 2012 Our petition was accepted (e-notification)
October 25th 2012 NoA2 received in mail. (Two actually, one dated the 17th one dated the 18th?)
November 5th Fiancee in Poland received packet from US Embassy in Warsaw, Poland.
November 7th Fiancee filled what needed to be filled out and sent the packet out
Late November: Medical exam, I sent her a packet with things she needed from me for the Interview
December 4th Jaga had her interview in Warsaw Poland! We got the visa :D
December 9th jaga picked up her visa in Bielsko-Biała :)

umm... havent updated this but she has her green card, us drivers license, and is in the process of getting her masters degree recognized here in the us.

To those who have done this because of a deployment, what proof did you need to provide? Will a simple ROS work? We don't have orders yet and probably wont until right before we leave. Also, will i still need to pay the fee or will it be free due to military status?
