Expedite naturalization

[highvoltage 9]

Hi All,

I have a question, can the naturalization be expedited? Need it for application for secret clearance. Is there a way to do it? Have submitted n400 online and currently waiting. Have the receipt number starting with IOE which probably means that it is at NBC. I am assuming once NBC finishes their process they send it over to the FO for interview scheduling right?

Are you military member? If yes, ask for assistance from your legal office. 
 

if not in the military, no, it can’t be expedited.

Need the citizenship first to have a clearance. So that's why I needed it. Have to put in a packet for the OCS.

Yes AD at the moment, need it for OCS. Cant do it without a citizenship. Need a clearance before I can submit a packet.

I don’t know what OCS is, but don’t even attempt applying to a position requiring citizenship if you’re not already a citizen. Plenty of folks got burned selecting USC box while not having certificate in hand - comes up at some point and they get denied citizenship and/or job (with clearance or not). 
 

BTW, may want to fix your profile - you can’t be naturalization (apr- approved) if you haven’t taken an oath yet.

This is for my wife she doesn't have a login, OCS is office candidate school. Basically to be an officer in the army need secret clearance plus citizenship. 

Will not drop a packet without a naturalization certificate in hand. We cannot even do it with a pending N400 right? Will it cause an issue with the citizenship?

No, can’t do with a pending naturalization. Wait it out.

Is she already in the military? If so, she can have her citizenship expedited as a service member. My wife went in the Air National Guard before becoming a U.S. citizen, but was only eligible for non-security jobs. She got her U.S. citizenship right after Basic Training, but she stayed in her same Guard job for 6 years. After she got out of the Guard, she received an active duty direct commission as an officer in the Air Force Nurse Corps. She is now a Captain, with a Secret clearance. We are currently in Germany, awaiting word of where we will be assigned next in 8 months from now.

Hi Ma'am,

 

Yes she is in the military, I don't know. about expedite. We have submitted the n400 application online. Happy for you folks, congratulations. I am still waiting to hear back from USCIS. On the portal it doesn't say anything. So have to see how can we expedite this.
