First of all I would sincerely like to thank all those who are helping the immigrant community on such a delicate issue. I appreciate your time and efforts.
I lived in the USA for about 15 years but I became permanent resident in Feb 2004. Up until October 2007, I used to work in the head office of my current employer located in GA, USA and since October 2007 I was relocated to their branch office in Dubai. Before moving to Dubai I got my N-470 and REP approved and my employment contract is clearly mentioned that it’s temporary assignment for a period of 3 years but I know it will extend for some time.
I will be eligible for citizenship in Feb 2010 minus 90 days. However, at the time of eligibility I will still be in Dubai and will send my N-400 to my friend for filing with all the required paper work. My questions to you are:
1. Do I still need to come 3 months before filling for citizenship application to fullfill physical presence in the district?
2. Doesn’t the purpose of N-470 is to preserve residence while working abroad?
3. Can I apply while living abroad and make short trips for figure prints and so on to fulfill 3 months physical presence?
4. I have a bank account, own a house and utilities are still on my name. Will this help?
I along with my family will be in the USA in June 2010 for about 2 months but would like to apply around December to safe extra trips for finger prints, interview, and oath.
Your input on this matter will be greatly appointed.
