Hi,
My wife's oath ceremony is coming up and we have a question. About two days after the oath, she needs to travel abroad for about 3-4 months while I am on a business contract.
My question is; should she apply for a US passport before she leave the country? My family can then mail the citizenship certificate along with password once received to us abroa; or should she apply for password in a US embassy once abroad.
Here is my concern; If she applies while in the US, usps will take her citizenship certificate and mail it to the passport office. If she then tries to travel abroad, all she has is her passport and local drivers license, no green card. Will they ask her at the US airport before leaving regarding how did she come in and where is her green card?
Is there a way for her to apply for a passport while in the US and not have to give them the citizenship certificate for a few weeks and just show it to them?
Thank you for any help.
