A requirement of US citizenship is residency in the USA for a period of time (18 months out of 3 years when married to a USC, or 30 months of past 5 years if not). This is waived if you are living in a foreign country because of a military deployment, or employed by the US government.

If you are at least 18 years old and:

Are the spouse of a U.S. citizen who is one of the following:

• A member of the U.S. Armed Forces;
• An employee or an individual under contract to the U.S. Government;
• An employee of an American institution of research recognized by the Attorney General;
• An employee of an American-owned firm or corporation engaged in the development of foreign trade and commerce for the United States;
• An employee of a public international organization of which the United States is a member by law or treaty; or
• A person who performs ministerial or priestly functions for a religious denomination or an interdenominational organization with a valid presence in the United States

and You will be proceeding to join your spouse whose work abroad under orders of the qualifying employer will continue for at least 1 year after the date you will be naturalized. Form N-400 should be filed prior to departing.

A US citizenship application does not much care where the applicant is from...

Are not the constituents of St Thomas. USVI already citizens? According to Wiki: U.S. citizenship was granted to the residents in 1927.

Very good point, this is also the case with Puerto Ricans.

If you are an LPR from somewhere else, and are living in a US teritory, then file the application to VT.

If you live in CT, DE, District of Columbia, ME, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, VT, VA, WV, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, send your N-400 application to:

Vermont Service Center

75 Lower Welden St

St. Albans, VT 05479-9400
