Application to Preserve Residence for Naturalization Purposes
Green Card holders hired from the United States who are interested in preserving their U.S. residency or that of their spouse need to be advised that before leaving the United States to take up employment with AUB they will have to file Form N-470 with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, requesting a preservation of residency, previously accumulated for naturalization purposes, even though he/she may be residing outside the United States for longer than one year. Thus the time spent abroad at AUB may be counted toward the residency requirement. Interested parties may go to the website: N-470, Application to Preserve Residence for Naturalization Purposes
