Appendix 74-13 Continuity of Residence for Naturalization Purposes.



The following is the text of a letter from the Chief of the Naturalization and Special Projects Branch of the Office of Adjudications dated September 23, 1993:


Kiblan & Battles

Attorneys and Counselors at Law

1420 Beverly Rd., Suite 340

McLean, VA 22101


ATTN: Ms. Malea Kiblan


Dear Ms. Kiblan:


Your letter to Mr. Lawrence J. Weinig, Assistant Commissioner, Adjudications, has been referred to me since it concerns a naturalization matter.


You have asked for an advisory opinion in cases where a naturalization applicant has been determined to have broken his/her continuity of. residence for naturalization purposes because of an absence of more than six (6) months but less than one (1) year, pursuant to the language in Section 316(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.


Specifically, you would like to know if the first date he/she will be eligible to reapply for naturalization will be four (4) years plus six (6) months from the date of reentry or four (4) years plus one (1) day from reentry.


The correct date would be four (4) years plus one (1) day. This is explained in 8 CFR 316.5(c) (1) (ii).


I apologize for the delay in responding to your letter but, I hope that this information has been of assistance.


Sincerely,
