Preservation of residence while abroad
I am a CPR based on marriage to a USC. My husband and I are going to spend a year outside the US because he has received a fellowship to do research in Europe. 1. How can I preserve my residence for naturalization purposes? 2. Do we have to or should we obtain a re-entry permit before our departure (which will be in a week)? 3. If I come back to the US after 6 months for a short visit will this preserve my residency requirement?

Re: Preservation of residence while abroad
check http://www.ins.gov for eligibility to preserve
the residence for naturalization purpose. I am not sure if you will qualify, since it is your husband's job, not yours. But check anyway. If you are sure you will be back within a year, you don't need re-entry permit, but if you are out for more than 6 months, your clock to naturalization will be reset the time you come back to the US soil. Personally, I think you will be okay if you come back for a short visit (say 2 weeks, or a month) in the middle of it - staying out for 5.5 months, and come back for a month, then go out for another 5.5 months. Before you apply for naturalization, you have to be physically here in the US for half of the 3 years requirement, and married to the same USC for 3 years.
