Unfortunately, in order to qualify for the exclusion, you must meet one of two tests, either the bona-fide residence test or the physical presence test.
The bona-fide residence test requires that you have lived and worked in a foreign country for a whole calendar year. You must have been there from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 to qualify.
The physical presence test requires that you have been in a foreign country for 330 days out of 365 days (12 months). So you could have no more than 31 US days.
You do not qualify for the exclusion if you have only been there only 3 months, However, if you are still overseas, you may qualify for tax year 2020.
