DWQV,
You have at least suggested that the job is with a foreign company but that it was somehow headquartered in the U.S.
Might the employer be a wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiary of a U.S. company/corporation?
First 2 parts of the holding in Matter of Chawathe:
(1) For purposes of establishing the requisite continuous residence in naturalization
proceedings pursuant to section 316(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C.
§ 1427(b) (2006), a publicly held corporation may be deemed an “American firm
or corporation” if the applicant establishes that the corporation is both incorporated
in the United States and trades its stock exclusively on U.S. stock exchange markets.
(2) When an applicant’s employer is a publicly held corporation that is incorporated in the United States and trades its stock exclusively on U.S. stock markets, the applicant need not demonstrate the nationality of the corporation by establishing the nationality of those persons who own more than 51% of the stock of that firm. Matter of Warrach, 17 I&N Dec. 285, 286-87 (Reg. Comm’r 1979), clarified.

The N-470 could be applicable under certain circumstances. You would have to have a period of one continuous year of physical presence as an LPR in the U.S. and your employer would have to qualify.
