THe recent State dept directive on DCF exempts military personeel/ USG employees from the 6 month residency requirement under emergency/national interest situations. A piece from the directive;


Examples of national interest include facilitating the travel of United States military and other USG direct hire employees assigned overseas who are pending transfer on orders and need to petition for immigrant classification of their spouse and minor children at posts overseas.

Could anyone please tell me what this means. I am confused. Does it mean USCs in US transferred abroad or the other way round?

I read it as 'military stationed overseas who need to return to the US soon, or who are being transferred elsewhere (combat zone) can petition their spouse/children without waiting for 6 mos residency'.

Don't I have an active imagination?

Meauxna is usually on point (I call her the VJ goddess of wisdom), but if you have more doubts, why not email or call your embassy/consulate? Is your spouse part of the armed forces?
