Steve_Houston said:Oh, man, I am very nervous and I want to get over with. I am planning a relocation overseas and clearly I can't do it until oath. So I don't want to be stuck in Houston for months.
Did you hear anything about your name check?
Publicus said:Steve, you should know that if you establish permanent foreign residence within 1 year after becoming a U.S. citizen, your citizenship may be revoked. This old requirement that candidates for US citizenship must intend to reside permanently in the US following naturalization provision was repealed on October 25, 1994, by Public Law 103-416 (108 Stat. 4305).

On 25 October 1994, President Clinton signed Public Law 103-416 (108 Stat. 4305), the "Immigration and Nationality Technical Corrections Act of 1994". This bill made several notable changes to the laws pertaining to naturalization.
Previously, candidates for US citizenship were required to state that they intended to reside permanently in the US following naturalization. This requirement was repealed by Congress.
The law had previously stated that a newly naturalized US citizen who, within one year following his naturalization, abandoned his US residence and set up a permanent residence outside the US (whether in his country of origin, or in any other country) was presumed to have misrepresented his intentions regarding permanent residence on his citizenship application (though this presumption could be overcome by appropriate evidence to the contrary), and on this basis could have his US citizenship cancelled retroactively. This provision was also repealed. " (Source: http://www.richw.org/dualcit/law.html#CitVsNat )
