Hi All,

I am a LPR since August 2005 and have the opportunity to go on a 6 mth assignment through my employer to Europe. I will still be on US payroll and maintain US residence - apartment, utilities and health ins etc.
I had a few questions:

1. Do I need a re-entry permit for the 6 mth assignment?
2. For naturalization purposes, will this 6 mth assignment break my continuous residency? Will it help if I come back in 5.5 months.
3. Would you recommend I come back for 3-4 days after 3 months to keep things safe?
4. For the N 470, I have lived in the US uninterrupted for around 340 days, will that work?

Thanks! I would appreciate any help.
 
Thank you! That was very helpful. As I understand from the document, I dont need a re-entry permit for a 6 mth assignment and this will not break my continous residency.

Thanks again.
 
You will be fine. 5.5 months is just enough, and you can come back safely and still be a citizen in 2010... provided they don't take their own sweet time to process your application.

1. You do not need a re-entry permit if you don't stay over the 6 months limit overseas. Return within 5.5 months and you'll be fine.

2. returning in 5.5 months will not break your continuous residence.

3. not necessary.

4. To qualify for a N-470, you must have one uninterrupted YEAR (365 days) of living in the USA since you became permanent resident.
