My spouse would like to apply for citizenship this year and is under the impression there is no need to complete paperwork to obtain a 10 year green card if citizenship is obtained.  Is that correct?

Comments :

Visa Journey helped me find an error on the AOS in February 2015. In March 2015 I was also able to help my spouse get the correct birth records required by NVC by reading the Nigerian thread on Visa Journey.

April 2, 2015- Case is in Supervisor Review because the DS260 form was sent electronically January 6, 2015 but hasn't been reviewed as of yet.

April 17, 2015- I finally have the 3rd N/A next to the Affidavit of Support fee. I spoke to a supervisor yesterday (Thursday). She told me she would have the case reviewed by the end of the week. It looks like she kept her word. I will call again tonight to confirm case complete :)

April 17, 2015- CONFIRMED CASE COMPLETE

June 18, 2015- Interview

July 01 , 2015- CEAC Status Shows Issued

July 03, 2015- Welcome to USA!!!

Your husband is incorrect that he doesnt need to file ROC or that he can obtain citizenship at this time.  If his entry is correct in your timeline 2015-07-03, he will have to ROC up to 90 days before that date in 2017. The earliest he could apply for citizenship is a year afterwards at 90 days before 2018-07-03

Please use the guides to help you learn about the process.

 

As NikLR mentioned your husband still has time to go before he can become a citizen. And he MUST go through the ROC process. If he tries before then he will simply be denied.

From what I understand, you still need to file your ROC. Here is the link from USCIS. There are only 2 groups who may be exempted from filing ROC : 

1. Conditional Residents Filing on the Basis of Qualifying Military Service
2. Conditional Residents Filing as the Spouse of a U.S. Citizen Employed Abroad
