PCS orders and waiting for removal of conditional residence

[Pame1224 3]

I am currently living in the USA and my husband got overseas orders for February. I filed to remove the conditions on my permanent residence in June. I received a letter that extended my residency until March 2020. I am in his orders and plan on leaving with him in February. My question is what are my options. Will uscis be able to expedite my 10 year permanent residence card before we leave?  Can I and should I file for naturalization before or when I am there? Any advice helps

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can go ahead and get your ROC expedited as long as you submit his orders. You must he on those orders

Yeah we are as well. I am waiting on those so that I can file for passports for the family and expedited naturalization for my wife. How close are you to Naturalization?

I would be eligible to apply next September according to the 3 year rule, but I am ready to apply before then if possible.
