How long till Citizenship

[davenjanet 22]

My wife got her green card in March 2014, so I know that 90 days before March 2017 she will be eligible to apply for citizenship (after we get the 10 year GC the previous year). I am trying to figure out a timetable. If she applies the 90 days before, when is it reasonable for her to actually obtain the citizenship?

She will not be interviewed any time sooner than March 2017 (3 years since she became Greencard holder)

So let assume she is interviewed on March 2017, plus 1-2 months for oath ceremony, she will be officially US citenzen around May-Jun 2017 the earliest in my opion. July-August 2017 seems more realistic to me.

Thanks for this. The reason for my question is I intend to retire and we will relocate to the Philippines.

What might happen (if anything) if we sold our house and began the relocation process prior to March 2017 or prior to the July-August estimate? I know that you can't be gone longer than 6 months within the three year residency. i am just trying to determine whether selling our house or beginning the move will foul up her process.

Thanks!
