Citizenship

Dear fellow in the same boat,

I submitted my N400 app on 8th of November 2016, went through Fingerprints but the Status yet to be changed. No updates after FP.

I raised few expedite requests for deploying overseas with Army as linguist; the first time they direct me to local office to submit the documents and I took my offer letter, the tests that I passed and other docs but the field office did not even looked at my docs and said they can't do anything and said this is the first time they seeing such kind of request being directed to them which was a surprise to me.

Raised the second expedite request so I can take the letter written by my company specifically to USCIS indicating that I'm deploying and the status of the request was saying "Completed" but did not receive any notice after 10 days, so called the customer service and they said they declined the request because the case is still pending for background checks and also said they sent me an email which I did not receive any email whatsoever from USCIS.

I'm not sure why this process would take this long especially when your record is clean. I worked with Army as translator for over 7 years and that's how I moved to States. There is no one that you can talk to directly and explain the situation- this is really frustrating.
 
Any one from Columbus, Ohio in same boat?

Any advice is appreciated.
Regards,
