They warn everybody LOL. Keep it within 6 months from now on or get the re-entry permit.
You CAN apply for a re-entry permit from anywhere using the US residence address that you are required to, at all times, have. You just have to be in the US for the biometrics.
If you do not have a US address and you just discovered that you need one then you will be dinged for not updating your address. Fix that before you apply for a re-entry permit.
You do not have to be physically present most of the time, but you do, at all times, have to demonstrate that you have and maintain a US residence and that you have and maintain (significant) ties to the US.
Good luck

It's possible, but it's going to be a slow process. If you haven't been assigned an SSN you will need to apply in person somewhere. If you are going back to the U.S. any time soon, I would just wait until you go back. What country are you in right now?

The OP is the non-USC spouse. His wife is a USC, however, reading back through his posts - the wife hasn't lived in the US after her birth, so the babe isn't eligible for a CBRA.
To the OP - your previous posts relating to this subject have given good advice about your situation.

Bob, the child doesn't have any claims to US citizenship because the USC mother did not live in the country for 5 years prior to the birth of the baby.
