Form N-470 is used by certain lawful permanent residents who need to preserve their continuous residence for naturalization purposes while being employed abroad by specific employers. This application helps ensure that their time outside the United States does not disrupt their eligibility for U.S. citizenship.

Lawful permanent residents employed abroad by the U.S. government, American institutions of research, American firms or corporations engaged in foreign trade and commerce, or certain international organizations.

Include your personal details, employment information, and reasons for your absence from the U.S.

It's advisable to resolve any pending issues before submitting the N-470. Consult an immigration attorney for guidance.

USCIS will review your application and may reach out for additional information if necessary.
