an application for employment, individuals must meet one or more of the

following primary residence criteria:

(a) Applicant resided in the United States or its protectorates or territories (short

trips abroad, such as vacations, will not necessarily disqualify an applicant);

(b) Applicant worked for the U.S. government as an employee overseas in a

federal or military capacity; or

overseas.

Note: Exceptions may be granted to applicants who can provide complete state-

side coverage information required to make a suitability/security determination.

Examples of state-side coverage information include: the state-side address of

the company headquarters where the applicant’s personnel file is located, the

state-side address of the Professor in charge of the applicant’s “Study Abroad”

program, the church records for the applicant’s overseas church missions, and/or

the state-side addresses of anyone who worked or studied with the applicant

while overseas.

If you can provide this information you can request an

exception for any periods of residency outside of the United States over the last

three years by checking block (E) on the form “Do you meet the Residency

Requirement?” provide the information requested, and return it with the

required pre-employment forms.
