    We were told by our interviewer that it sped up our case, but my wife’s I-751 had been pending for three years and her n-400 for two years. There’s a difference between fast and faster (than really, really, glacially slow).

    Hmm…I wouldn’t be surprised if their excuse was that it was business days and not calendar days. Maybe having a congress person or senator inquire on your behalf would help.

    Hmm…your best estimate is probably the total time from your field office minus how much time you’ve been waiting already. USCIS says Milwaukee completes 80% of n-400 cases in 8 months. My wife received her interview notice about a month before her interview date.

    The man who interviewed my wife said that there was no way her i-751 would have been in front of him if she hadn’t filed the n-400. I think his direct quote was “you jumped the line.”

    I see the blanket authorization of US military on military bases abroad, but not government employees. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-b-chapter-3

    I don’t think you need to be working for the military or federal government to qualify for DCF. The USC spouse needs to be legally residing in the country abroad and have an “exceptional circumstance.” This one may apply to you: ”Short notice of position relocation – A U.S. citizen petitioner, living and working abroad, has received a job offer in or reassignment to the United States with little notice for the required start date.”

    I’m not sure if there are differences for military families, but I would look into direct consular filing. Since your husband is legally residing in German, I think you’d qualify. It is a much faster than going through the processes in the US.

    Did you check her status on CEAC? https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?TSPD_101_R0=0883343043ab20006dfb7faa5c8a29f7774522f9a248e388b5f9ead8843ecbd20e9194dc2f653feb086bd7d6b61430000e36b3b12218359b86f79c6e6154b9638225a0ca83b99b0a7cbf0eb020f9514258346220cdde7c7be83839a314725437

    That was the email address for correspondence regarding immigrant visas when my wife was getting hers in 2017. If I recall, it took them a long time to reply (2 weeks), but they did eventually. Make sure you include your case number.

    My wife recently had a combo interview at Baltimore. Make sure your spouse comes with you for the interview. You are in a tricky spot. Not enough time to definitely get a passport with expedited service, but travel not close enough for the urgent travel service. You will also need to send the original naturalization certificate, so it makes to impossible to do urgent if you’ve already sent in for expedited. My mom had success getting a passport last minute with the help of her congressman’s office. I believe she did expedited service and they ensured her passport arrived the afternoon before her flight.

    Should not be a problem. Tell the interviewer you made a mistake on your form that you’d like to correct. You’ll be fine if you’ve spent less than six month outside the US.

    Hmm…I’d be surprised if she needed to do another interview. What does that status say when she logs onto CEAC? Maybe contact DHL to see if the visa is ready for pick up. If not, I’d send an email to the embassy to clarify (IVACCRA@state.gov).

    No, only my wife was allowed in

    I believe this is the guide for your situation:

    She won’t be able to get a US passport until she becomes a US citizen.

    I think you are definitely overthinking this. I don’t think they are worried about wet signatures. If they have a question, they will call your relative in Ghana to confirm. When my wife was there (DC), they asked her to sign for her dad when she left the signature part blank. The important thing to them is that the form is filled. I think I was my wife’s other guarantor, and I think I just put my US passport number in and crossed out “Ghanaian” on the printed form.

    We did online and had no issues. At this point it feels to me that more could go wrong with paper.

    They guy interviewing my wife said that applying for naturalization helped us. We were still down in the queue for an I-751 interview, but the n400 interview queue was shorter and they processed together.
