1. The Immigration and Naturalization Act (INA) allows the residency requirement of naturalization to be waived in certain circumstances, and this is sometimes referred to as expedited citizenship.

  2. To qualify for this exception, the foreign national must possess an active green card and be married to a U.S. citizen who is stationed in a foreign country. This state of affairs would otherwise prevent the foreign national from being able to establish residency within the U.S.

  3. The foreign national’s spouse must be employed by the U.S. government, a U.S. firm engaged in research or international trade, an international public organization which is connected to the U.S. (i.e., the United Nations), or as a missionary of a religious organization based in the U.S.
