Documentation that shows that the absence was temporary. Eg. husbands contract  .. and documentation that shows you retained strong primary domicile in the  US during the absence..  . bank accounts, drivers licence, tax returns etc

Its understandable to be concerned. It wont change your LPR status. You wont lose your GC. Worst case is it delays your eligibility for naturalization  until you meet the guidrlines. Many LPR never naturalize. Breathe ! 😁

Since it’s under a year, you’re in a lot better shape than if it were over a year.  I don’t see a reason to think it should be a denial.  It sounds perfectly reasonable to me.  Since it can be documented, even better.

The spouse of a U.S. citizen who is “regularly stationed abroad” in qualifying employment may be eligible for naturalization on the basis of their marriage. Spouses otherwise eligible under this provision are exempt from the continuous residence and physical presence requirements for naturalization.

 

https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/79520.pdf

SECTION 319(B) OF THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT ALLOWS CERTAIN SPOUSES OF UNITED STATES CITIZENS REGULARLY STATIONED ABROAD TO NATURALIZE WITHOUT ANY REQUIRED PERIOD OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE, PROVIDED THAT THEY WILL BE RESIDING ABROAD WITH THEIR U.S. CITIZEN SPOUSE AFTER NATURALIZATION. AN APPLICANT MUST DECLARE IN GOOD FAITH AN INTENTION TO RESIDE PERMANENTLY IN THE UNITED STATES WHEN THE SPOUSE’S EMPLOYMENT TERMINATES

 

WHAT REQUIREMENTS MUST I MEET FOR NATURALIZATION UNDER SECTION 319(B)? 1. You must be married to a U.S. citizen and living together in a valid marital union; and 2. 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; or • A Public International Organization in which the U.S. participates by treaty. Per Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 319.5, these organizations are: The North Atlantic Treaty Organization and The UN and all agencies and organizations which are a part thereof; or • Is authorized to perform the ministerial or priestly functions of a religious denomination having a bona fide organization within the U.S. or is engaged solely as a missionary by a religious denomination or by an interdenominational mission organization having a bona fide organization within the U.S.; and 3. You must be a lawful permanent resident at the time of your interview; and 4. You comply with all applicable naturalization requirements (http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/natz/require.htm) of Sections 316 & 319 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (http://uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/ins.htm) and Parts 316 and 319.2 of Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (http://uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/8cfr.htm) except that no particular period of lawful permanent residence is required.. 5. YOUR USC SPOUSE MUST HAVE AT LEAST 1 YEAR REMAINING ON HIS OR HER OVERSEAS DUTY AT THE TIME OF YOUR NATURALIZATION; AND 6. You must show evidence that you will join your spouse overseas within 45 days of your naturalization. 7. You must be physically present in the United States at time of naturalization. 8. You must declare in good faith an intention to reside permanently in the United States when your spouse’s employment abroad terminates. WHERE CAN THE INTERVIEW AND NATURALIZATION TAKE PLACE? As an applicant for naturalization under Section 319(b) you may be interviewed and naturalized at the USCIS office of your choice in the United States, including Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. Note, though, that you are required to have a U.S.
