File USA N-470 application for Green Card Residence Maintenance – Non-Attorney

Description

You can apply with USCIS if you have to leave the USA for employment purposes and you want to preserve your continuous US residence requirement for US citizenship application in future.

If USCIS approves, you may be able to preserve continuous US residency (previously accumulated for naturalization purposes) even though you may be living outside the US for more than one year.

The time spent outside the USA may be counted toward your residency/citizenship requirement if you file Form N-470.

We can guide and help you file this application for a small fee.

What are the continuous residency requirements for Form N-400 (Citizenship)?

1. You must reside in the USA for 5 years immediately preceding the date of filing AND
2. You should be physically present in the United States for at least 30 months of those 5 years.

NOTE: Qualifying spouses of U.S. citizens who file Form N-400 must reside in the United States for 3 years immediately preceding the date of filing.

Those spouses are required to have been physically present in the United States for at least 18 months of those 3 years.

Lawful permanent residents who remain outside the United States for more than one uninterrupted year will disrupt their residency requirement unless they have an approved Form N-470.

Eligibility to file N-470

You can file this application if:

1. You have been physically present and residing in the United States for an uninterrupted period, without any absences, for at least one year after your admission as a lawful permanent resident (except religious workers) AND
2. You will be absent from the United States for one year or more AND
3. You have qualifying employment in a specific job with the U.S. Government, private sector, or religious organization AND
4. You want to preserve your continuous residence for naturalization purposes.

If U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approves your Form N-470, your spouse and dependent unmarried sons or daughters will receive the same benefit.

All of them must be members of the same household and reside with you while you reside outside the United States.
