Hi all N-400 December 2016 filers! I notice a lot of activity going on for this group of naturalization filers and had a small question I figured you all may be able to help me with. My question is, is it okay to travel abroad between the time you file for naturalization and the naturalization interview? Also, by travel i really mean moving to another country and working there. My husband (US Citizen) got a job in London for which he may be leaving soon and I wanted to see if it was okay for me to stay back till i send in my N-400 application and then move to UK in the time period before I have the interview (all this is obviously assuming that I'll come back here whenever needed for my biometrics and interview appointments)

 

Thanks so much for any help that you all may be able to provide!

I'd rather wait. There's a lot of room for something going wrong, and also, the political environment both here and the UK it's kind of unstable.
One thing is going on vacation, and another very different is "moving to another country and working there". An interviewing officer in a bad mood can easily throw you out of the interview if he/she finds that out.

Thanks ramsep, makes sense. I was thinking that's probably the safer option but thought i'll speak with some of you who may have more information since you're so far ahead in your process

The main proof of burden on the applicant for naturalization is proof of eligibility based on continuous residence within the U.S. -

 

That said, moving to another country permanently while only being a Lawful Permanent Resident will not only jeopardize your status as permanent resident and Green Card holder but it would also make you ineligible to naturalize.

 

So by moving permanently to the UK while a GC holder, regardless of whether you applied or not for naturalization (until naturalized you remain a GC holder), you could lose your Green Card and the chance to become a US citizen.
