Has or does immigration ever grant a waiver of time in residency for citizenship

U.S.C.I.S. can grant a waiver of time for spouses of U. S. citizens in special classes including where both parties are abroad and the U. S. citizen is working for a U. S. company engaged in whole or in part in the development of foreign trade and commerce of the U. S., or in the employment of the U. S. government, or of an American institution of research recognized as such by the Atty. Gen., or of a public international organization in which the U. S. participates by treaty or statute, or is authorized to perform ministerial or priestly functions of a religious denomination having a bona fide organization within the U. S., etc.  The U. S. citizen spouse must be regularly stationed abroad in such employment, and the applicant must be in the U. S. at the time of naturalization and declare in good faith an intention to take up residence within the U. S. immediately upon termination of such employment abroad of the citizen spouse.

Your question is unclear, but if you mean can you avoid the continuous residency requirement, the answer is: it depends.  Here is a link to more information about exceptions to the requirement: http://www.uscis.gov/policymanual/HTML/PolicyManual-Volume12-PartD-Chapter5.html
