Has anyone on here gone to another country to adjust besides whatever passport they hold?

No, it has to be within a country he legally resides. Technically, there is just more guarantee of that within his home country. I am also not sure how a US embassy might bring this up and if it is simply legal status within that country or must be permanently legal. Also, I have no idea if they will require evidence of said status in said country as the process continues. However, I do know many countries' embassies/consulates do require that while you are here in the US.

Also my wife and I want to go in a cruise to the Bahamas in the next couple of weeks. Do you think it’s safe to go before the interview?

If you think about it...it is easier to print a piece of paper that say "approved" than an encrypted government document with several anti-fraud countermeasures...
On going, I think it would be ok. Usually, an interview is atypically ~four weeks out.

Background for Naturalization form what I understand is more in-depth. The reason being is agencies understand once you gain citizenship...it is difficult to have it taken away through de-naturalization. There is more to it than simply a name check...the background from my understanding cover I believe last I read was 26 agencies. What they entail, I have no idea.
