Immigration citizenship waiting time

[Tony rodri 1]

Hello.

My wife submitted her application for citizenship. However, her green card is expired but she has form 751.

My question is : if she travel back home until she recieved her interview letter. Is this gonna a problem. Because she is planning to stay overseas until she recieved her letter interview.

Also her case number started with  IOE and i have being looking which center but i could not find it.

 

Thank you for help

Yes could be a problem depending on number of months she will be out of US. Maintaining continuous residency is the key.

At my interview the officer asked me about my different trips to Europe, sometime for few months. I had good reasons and he was very cool with it. Depending on the circumstances i guess.

Which field office? How long do people usually wait for interviews in that office?

 

The trip must be <6 months to prevent disruption to "continuous residency."

 

IOE just means it's something that was electronically filed. You can review the status of a an IOE receipt number here:

fyi my interview was one day short of a year from application. Some offices wait longer than I did. 5 months may ...or may not..be feasible. Long time to spend away from a spouse, hope you don't miss her too much/or will visit frequently. 

 

I am slightly confused though, is this a different wife than the one you filed an affidavit of support for just last month, with the interview a few days later that you had wanted to reschedule??
