Have a query about expedited naturalization , section 319b

Would like to discuss it with an expert here or someone who obtained his/her

naturalization by sec 319b

Thanks

Section 319b of the INA allows for an alien whose US citizen spouse is regularly stationed abroad to qualify for naturalisation without residing in the USA for 3 years. Generally, it is available to individuals that are married to someone stationed abroad either with a US company, or an international organisation, (can be religious) that has a presence in the United States. The condition "regularly stationed" abroad is indicated to mean that the US citizen spouse will be abroad for at least a year from the time of alien's interview. Another requirement is that ultimately the alien and US citizen intend to reside in the USA after the overseas assignment is complete.

Here's an explanation of the eligibility;

I know that part. But thanks anyway for replying. My question is;

If a person naturalized under 319b and his/her USC spouse abroad decide to quit the USC spouse's

long term contract abroad and return to US, say 2 months after the 319b naturalization, will it anyway

affect the 319b naturalized spouse? Won't this be going against the good faith statement of a long term

contract made to USCIS when the spouse naturalized under 319b?

To be eligible for DCF in canada, the USC and the beneficiary spouse are both required to be resident in Canada.

(As read on the US embassy in canada website)

The embassy page does not elaborate on the meaning of "resident". Does it mean only PRs or does it also include USCs and the beneficiary spouses living in canada on other long term canadian visas( student or work visas).

Will appreciate anyone throwing some light on this.
