Q. My U.S. citizen spouse is in the military and is going to be deployed abroad. Can I receive expedited naturalization?

A. You may be able to receive expedited naturalization, but there are a number of other requirements you must meet in addition to being the spouse of a U.S. citizen military member. For example, you must declare that you will live with your spouse abroad where your spouse deployed for at least one year. Not all spouses are eligible to live with their deployed military spouses because many are located on ships, submarines, unauthorized locations, etc.
