Great info. Appreciate it. Will definitely do online.  

Yes, I had already had planned to file 5 days after my eligible time to file. Thank you. 

Filed for a friend online n-400 on 12/22/23 she became USC on 03/19/24 same day oath ceremony. LA office  
 
also filed for a friend back in January 2022 online under 3 years rule married with active military, got approved around 2,5 months. Same day oath ceremony, Jacksonville, FL. 

Nah, not under normal circumstances. All my applications have been well within the official processing times. Only the PCS overseas gets you on the fast track 😁

Take a look at my profile.  My wife is a native Taiwanese.

if USC is stationed outside the US,  it is suppose to

Spouses of U.S. service members may be eligible for expedited naturalization outside the United States. Children of service members may also be eligible for naturalization or may be eligible to automatically acquire citizenship.

I “think” don't quote me but I believe the spouse of a Military person will be prioritized. Thanks for all the info!

Good to know. Glad it was only 5 months for your wife. Hopefully it will be the same for my Wife here in Idaho.

N400 processing is governed by your local office.  As to filing online vs paper, I have not seen any definitive data showing one is demonstrably faster than the other.
 
That being said, online filing is more convenient for most folks and also most likely for USCIS, but make sure you do not submit an online petition around the time your filing window opens if filing during a 90 day period.
 
Good Luck! 

Maybe i am wrong, but my understanding is that the first step in the sb1 process is to make a consulate appointment and have the first of two interviews.   They won't have much choice as to answer questions when you are sitting in front of them.  You've been through it before so you have more familiarity than most

I understand its subjective but the pandemic was circumstances outside your control.  I suppose they could argue you had some control with all the  repatriation flights.  

I had a SB1 in 2017 and it fell within the acceptable reason. Don't think they will accept the pandemic for a reason. Visit visa may be good. Any idea on process time start to finish? Thank you for you time and help !
