To qualify for naturalization under INA 319(b), you will need to establish your U.S. citizen spouse is regularly stationed abroad in qualifying employment for at least one year. Qualifying employment requires your spouse to be under contract or orders to assume a position. The statute does not indicate when calculating the one-year period of employment begins. USCIS calculates the one year period from the date of filing. You have the burden to prove your spouse's employment overseas will be for at least one year from the time of filing.
