Re: British hubby getting US Citizenship
The application was received by USCIS on 8th August 2018. My case may well have moved a little faster if it hadn't been held up for 30 days thanks to an RFE on my Permanent Residency case which had to be resolved before the N400 could proceed. Good news is that Christmas didn't seem to delay things much, as I was receiving notifications, etc on both the 22nd and 26th of December.
How far along are you guys, past biometrics or interview yet and presumably you're signed up for the USCIS 'myaccount' site to keep track of your case?

He submitted paperwork Nov 2018 and had biometrics Dec 2018. The website says completion date is Nov 2019. Our plan is to leave here in July, so we'll see.

Unless your husband will remain in the US , he is obligated to file an AR11 associated with the green card indicating your new British address and to separately update the N400 online account where it lets you inform them you’ve moved .

They will swear in up to 10,000 new citizens on that day in Los Angeles. They have capacity to do 5,000 in the morning and 5,000 in the afternoon. My ceremony was on December 19 in the morning and there were "only" 3,300 of us! It is quite the production and I was amazed at how organized it all was.

Fairly sure that naturalization requires US residence.

Re: British hubby getting US Citizenship
Yes I know but rather than argue with anecdotes about people who left the country before their naturalization interviews and still cleared it, I simply stated the rules as they are - which require the OP to list a UK address in their AR-11 and the N-400 address change forms.
