Naturalisation conditions

[stealth]

Hi All, I am pleased to learn recently my ILR has been successful.

Thanks to all who have been really helpful on my earlier queries.

My understanding is that according to current rules, I will be eligible to apply for naturalisation after 12 months of stay in the UK as ILR candidate.

Also If am correct, the condition is during the last 12 months of the six-year period I must not have been outside the UK for more than 90 days.

However my company is UK headquartered and operating in many countries including the USA. I might be getting an opportunity to work in one of the USA offices for 1-2 years or more as required.

But my queries are:
1. Can I take my employment in the USA and still manage to get the naturalisation next year as I will be working for the same employer?
2. Do I need to be working (not unemployed) to get naturalisation? Is this a condition just like it was for getting ILR?
3. I really like to option to travel and work in the USA for a while and dont want to lose the opportunity However dont want to lose the possibility of getting the British citizenship either.

So any advise on this front will be much appreciated.
