N-400 conflicting with Military ?

[lovethemidwest 28]

Hello everyone,

 

 

I posted this before in the military related forum but as there is not a lot of activity I hope posting it here again is acceptable, any helping information in this strange situation would be most appreciated.

Question regarding a legal aspect of being in the Delayed Entry Program and filing for citizenship N-400.

 

Here is my situation: The Moment I was done with the removal of conditions and had my new green card in my hands, I went straight to the Air Force Recruiting Office and went trough the whole enlistment process.

 

Currently I am just waiting for my security suitability determination to be done and then I will go to BMT in the summer. 

 

I know that I can not file for citizenship through military service for at least half a year after starting active duty service.

 

 

However, as I am still happily married to my US Citizen wife, I can apply for citizenship shortly.

 

The question now is: Does me being in the DEP count as “being in the military” ?

 

And, am I still allowed to file for Citizenship through my marriage despite being in the DEP ? I do not want to do anything shady but if it is still legitimate for me to file under these circumstances, I would like to do that in the next days.

 

thank you for help answers !
