From Conditional Green Card to Naturalization?

[RainbowMonkey 24]

Hi! I'm a new military spouse and my husband is still in army bootcamp training. My friend have mentioned to me that i could apply for citizenship instead of removing my conditions on my 2yr green card that i currently have right now. It would expire the beginning of next year. Does anyone can tell me if that's really how it works? Or do i still need to file for Removing of Conditions? Thank you! I'm still waiting for my husband's letter if he might know where could he/we possibly be stationed at.

I believe you can only expedite citizenship if the spouse will be deployed overseas. (Or stationed overseas). Plus there are other few requirements to meet. And even there the timing of your green card expiring/naturalization approval is pretty crucial. 

 

I'm also 99% sure you cannot skip ROC. But I'll have to double check that and maybe someone else have better knowledge.

So pretty much what I said...

You can only expedite naturalization in case of deployment or overseas duty station plus other requirements.
