Hi everyone! I've been an LPR for over 5 years, but me and my U.S. citizen husband have been living overseas for years. I've learnt that INA section 319(b) waives the continuous residency requirements for n-400 applicants with qualifying employment abroad. Now, I've prepared all supporting documents and uploaded them to USCIS account and was ready to submit my application. I started to have my doubts if INA 319(b) applications are not allowed to file online, and all documents must be sent through the regular mail (my co-worker has similar case and they just mailed physical documents). Does anybody have a successful case of getting U.S. citizenship filing under INA 319(b)? Did you mail your docs to the USCIS office or did you apply online? Can you please refer me to resources that can help? I've read all instructions on the government website, but there's not much info for these specific conditions. Your help with this will be much appreciated! Good luck to everyone with their naturalization processes! 💖

Good luck with your case! Did you choose your USCIS office solely based on your geographical location or were there some other factors you considered? I'm in a kind of tricky situation and trying to understand which USCIS office to send my case to: I've been a LPR for over 5 years, and my husband has qualifying employment abroad, so we both live in Qatar. I'm not sure which USCIS office to choose for my N-400 INA 319(b) processing, as I would need to get a new passport and return back to Qatar right after my naturalization. Trying to choose an office that is familiar with cases under section 319(b), that has a relatively fast processing times, that I can fly to to get my interview and same-day Oath ceremony, plus it has to be near a Passport office to get my passport right away. 😅 Any advice from any of the members of this community with similar experience would be greatly appreciated!
