Naturalization under 319(b)

[ixchel007 0]

Does anybody have any experiences to share on their naturalization interview under 319(b) at the Houston District office or in other locations? For example, is the Us citizen spouse allowed/requested to be at the interview? How much evidence of the US citizen spouse's work abroad is needed for the interview? Would a simple letter from the employer suffice? Since the residency requirements under 319(b) are waived, do officers spend more time probing the marriage or looking at how the green card was obtained etc? What about the questions on the local representatives, state Governor, state capitals, and state senators of the civics test: Since people applying through 319(b) are not really residents of any state, what state/district do those questions refer to in the civics test? Thanks for you answers.

We're going through this process right now and just waiting to find out whats going on, so I'm afraid I have no answers for you. I am curious to see the answers from the more experienced posters on here.

Good Luck by the way with your 319(b)
