Please help!
I live in Oakland, CA and have just filed I-751 to remove the condition on GC. I may need to relocate to Colorado around the time I can apply for citizenship (in about 10 months). I expect to stay there only for 6-9 months and after that, I plan to work overseas for a long time. Currently, it looks like processing time in Colorado for N-400 is 2 months behind SF.
My questions are:
- Given the 90-day residence requirement for citizenship application and the fact that I want to complete the N-400 process ASAP, can I file N-400 in CA and then relocate to Colorado while keep the process going in CA (fly back for fingerprint, interview, etc.) assuming I can keep a CA address (property or friend's address)? Additionally, does the 90-day requirement mean 90 days before filing the application, interviewing, or taking the oath?
- How will my pending I-751 (filed with CA service center) affected if the application is not complete before filing N-400?
- If my USC spouse wants to leave the U.S. (in anticipation for our eventual relocation overseas) before I get my citizenship, when is the earliest time he can leave (while I stay in the U.S.) without negatively affecting my citizenship application? Also, does my spouse need to appear in any interview for my citizenship application?
