Hello, 

soon I will start the process to apply for Citizenship. 

I have 2 questions:

1) We are soon moving and will be traveling around so won't have a “steady” physical address. Knowing the process will take a couple of months and they move the case when you move to another state. We do own property in Arizona but physically we won’t be there the whole time. Can I use an address of a friend or.... What do you recommend so I don’t delay the process?

2) My application is marriage based so “Be physically present in The United States for at least 18 months out of the 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing the application.”

       I counted my time abroad over the last couple of years:

·       In 2019: 9 months in the US, In 2020: 10 months in the US, In 2021: 4 months in the US (counted till May 1^st), so 23 months which means I am good to go for the application?   

Thanks

Last week I went down to the DMV for doing my written test for the Colorado driving License.

I showed them my documents:

- passport with I-94 form

- marriage certificate

- proof of residence

- bank statement to show joint account

- social security card

They mentioned I couldn't get my license and had to wait till the adjustment of status was done (which I just filed for a week ago)

and I could show them my greencard.

The other option was show them the I 797C Approval Notice and I could get a driving license BUT only valid for the time the

I-94 is valid (so that 's only one month more)

Does anyone have experience if this is indeed the case because on the DMV website I can't find the information if they tell me the

right way to follow in this process.

Thanks for the answers!

Do you know how long it will take before I can expect a reply on the I-765 application?

I just got married to my american man after entering the US on my K-1 visa.

After showing my marriage certificate I got a Social Security Card mentioning

"Valid for work only with DHS authorization". Last week I filed I-485 for adjustment

of status and the same time I filed I-765 for Employment authorization. Do I need to

wait till I have a reply on the I-765 before I can start working?

Thanks
