Hey, guys.

 

Sorry if it's been answered before, but I'm  having troubles to navigate the answer I'm looking for...

 

My son's N-426  got certified so he could finally submit his N-400, online.

It says estimated time is 10 months - should be over by Jan.2022. 

 

The thing is he is going to be deployed in Sept-Oct, and apparently will still  be overseas in Jan. 2022..

 

I've read somewhere that very often military guys get N-400 denied due to failure to show up for appointment ...because od deployment, duties...etc.

 

So, what should we do and when should we start doing something to avoid the "complications"?

 

Thank you!

Yes. It would be Japan.... Well, everything can be changed, of course, but as of now - yes, Japan.

It did ask - if he has a deployment within next THREE months....That's why he couldn't put "yes" since his is scheduled for the end of Sept - beg of Oct...

 

According to the link you've provided it does look like he would have to contact Military help line 3-*4 months prior pending deployment...

 

thank you for your help - really appreciate it!

Ok, I didn't recall how long it asked for? 

 

One thing I recommend is walking in to a nearby ASC and taking his biometrics. As a servicemember, he is able to walk in to get his bios done without an appointment. This will at least get him ahead of the game with bios. 

 

Then, I would say 3 months prior to his deployment call USCIS and request an expedite on his case. Military deployment constitutes a basis for expedite.

Oh, I didn't know he can just do a  walk-in for his bio - great info, thank you!!!

 

To expedite  - they will probably ask for a proof of a pending deployment... Who should he contact for that? - sorry another "dumb' question, but I'm just being a mom :) It took forever to get back his certified N-426, so I'm afraid even to guess how the process of requesting the "proof" is gonna  look like...

He can submit his orders. Prior to his deployment, he should get some orders that show the dates of his deployment.
