Can Some1 plzz Help!!!

I am U.S citizen and I currently posses a US passport. I live in Washington D.C. metro area and have applied for certificate of citizenship( using form N600) in USCIS service centre with jurisdiction over the area. I have 3 questions

1> What is the processing time for n600 applications? It has been 12 months since I applied and their website shows that they are processing applications well after my application date. I havent heard any thing from USCIS as yet. (The application fee has been debited from my account)

2> I was told by officals at USCIS that I can apply for my husband's GC with my U.S passport( Cert. of citizenship not required). However my lawyer says the immigration officer can reject my application because I don't possess my certificate of citizenship.

i> What are the chances that my husband will be issued GC even if I donot have cert. of citizenship?

ii> Will the rejection of application adversly effect the reapllication process once I get my cert. of citizenship?

Your advice on this matter will be highly appreciated.

I believe you need the nat. certificate . Why dont you go ahead and apply with the copy of the apssport and if its not sufficient, USCIS will request specifically the Nat certificate? If its outside processing dates, make an appt tru infopass and go in

u can file for your husband's gc with your current passport and documentation to show that you've applied for a copy of your nat. cert.
make sure you get all copies notarized
good luck
