Sanders' women and minority supporters say it's a false narrative that he only appeals to white,

126. Without knowing more about Rodriguez's situation it isn't possible to offer many more comments.

In my comments, I gave credit to Rodriguez for already meeting the residency requirements. The starting point of the timeline I was examining begins with the filing of the N-400 form, then proceeds though the exam, interview and concludes with taking the oath. Even the most optimistic view (see HSB's link in this thread) takes 6 months to one year. Most of the links from other legal firms indicated longer periods of time depending on whether the applicant was married to a citizen, the numbers of applicants in an area which could delay the interview process, and how frequently the naturalization ceremonies occur within that area.

In the case of Rodriguez, she indicated that Bernie was the central reason why she applied. Bernie entered the race on April 30, 2015 and she became a citizen in September. The time elapsed between the two events is between 4 to 5 months. While it might be possible to complete the process that quickly, that would appear to be very expedited compared to what most people and attorneys say it takes.

I find it disconcerting to read that someone decided to become a citizen to vote for a particular candidate. That could be interpreted as an oath of allegiance to a politician rather than to the country. It also fuels the narrative that Democrats are lax on immigration because we are trying to increase the pool of voters for Democratic candidates.

Congratulations to your husband and his brother for completing the naturalization process.
