Hello,
I have a slightly complicated issue that I need help on. I am a permanent green card holder married to a US citizen. I received my conditional green card in June 2005 and my permanent green card in July 2007. In February, 2007 my husband was sent to India by his US company for a 3 year contract and I accompanied him. I do have a re-entry permit valid until February 2010 and have been in and out of the States with no problems.
My question is that I just read about a clause (319 b) that allows for expedited naturalizations under certain conditions, one of them being:
The U.S. citizen must be “regularly stationed abroad” in the employment of:
• The U.S. government; or
• An American institution of research recognized as such by the Attorney General; or
• An American firm or corporation engaged in whole or in part in the development of foreign trade and
commerce of the U.S., or a subsidiary thereof;
My husband is working for an American publishing house based in Florida (He acts as the Asia Editor for a trade and logistics magazine designed for American readership). Does this qualify me to apply under this clause? How do you go about trying to prove that the company is involved in the development of foreign trade and commerce of the US?
I can't apply under the normal 3 year period after marriage because we left in February 2007 and that means I don't have the requisite physical presence and residence requirements.
I know this sounds confusing, but I would really appreciate some help - any help!!
Thanks so much
