[bebs03 0]

I am about to apply under 319b.. I just got my LPR 2 months ago. My husband is already in italy (Im in the states). My question about the 3 year as LPR being waived was answered.. now do I need to be residing abroad to apply under 319b ?? or can I apply here in the states and then go with my hubby? Thank you for answering in advanced.. I really appreciate it because Im so confused!

Oh and one more thing! whats with the flight itinerary thing.. Like someone else said. Am I supposed to just aim? That doesn't make sense. We dont know when will they give me the interview or even respond before hand. Please help!

I think that's for civilians or diplomatic families, not military.. I just want to know if I should get an airplane ticket before applying and how to schedule an airplane ticket without knowing if I'll be able to make it . If I want to apply on april, what date should I travel??

If you're on military orders and still have at least one year of your tour left, you can file abroad AND have the interview and oath abroad. Why don't you do that?

Prior to the enactment of section 319(e), with some exceptions, a service member’s LPR spouse residing abroad with the service member had to apply for naturalization under section 319(B). This applied to a spouse who was otherwise eligible for naturalization under section 316(a) or 319(a) but whose time abroad rendered them unable to meet the respective continuous residence or physical presence requirements. Though such an LPR filing under section 319(B) was exempt from the continuous residence and physical presence requirements,14 he or she was still required to return to the United States for his or her interview, naturalization, and any other related procedure.15

The enactment of section 319(e) allows such an LPR spouse to apply for naturalization from abroad pursuant to section 316(a) or 319(a) and complete any procedure relating to his or her application for naturalization while residing overseas.

(4) Pending Form N-400s Filed under Section 319(B)

Section 319(B) has not been amended by Public Law 110-181. However, a service member’s LPR spouse who is residing abroad and who has a pending Form N-400 currently filed under section 319(B) may seek overseas naturalization and use any other provision of section 319(e), if he or she is otherwise eligible for naturalization under section 316(a) or 319(a).

On the other hand, any applicant for naturalization under section 319(B) who is not otherwise eligible for naturalization under section 316(a) or 319(a) at the time of filing does not benefit from section 319(e).

Effective immediately, all USCIS Field Offices, Service Centers, and the National Benefits Center should review any pending Form N-400 that has been filed by a spouse of a member of the Armed Forces pursuant to section 319(B). The adjudicator should determine if the applicant is eligible for naturalization under section 316(a) or 319(a) and thereby potentially eligible for the provisions of section 319(e).

If such a determination is made, the USCIS Field Office or Service Center should notify
