Ok so my case is different.
I applied for citizenship 14 days after entering USA as a permanent resident
Entered USA on June 23rd just last month
Received social security July 7th
US citizen husband received a job offer that’s hard to say no to and have to start work in august!
After an online search we found out I’m eligible for Expedited Naturalization and I applied immediately even though I haven’t even received my actual green card in the mail yet.
expedited citizenship is for the spouses of United States citizens employed by certain employers overseas, to expedite their applications for citizenship and naturalize without having to meet the residency requirements normally required to become a United States citizen.
My IR1 interview was on march 6th this year but I don’t remember biometrics taken.
ideally it’s better to wait to get biometrics done then fly out of the country but we couldn’t wait and already left USA since i don’t mind flying back and forth for biometrics and interview/oath appointments.
