English: Country of Former Allegiance

Spanish: País de Previa Lealtad

Definition (English):—

Definition (Spanish):—

Comments:Consider the sexual or interpersonal relationship connotations of the term 'fidelidad', which would correspond more strictly to 'faithfulness'. 'Lealtad' may correspond more strictly to the English 'loyalty', but seems to be the closest to the mark in Spanish.

English: Registry

Spanish: Registro

Definition (English):—

Definition (Spanish):—

Comments:This is a USCIS process through which a green card can be obtained; it is literally referred to as "Green Card Through Registry". It is very rare at this point, as the first requirement is that the applicant entered the US before January 1st, 1972. USCIS refers to it literally as 'Registro'. Given this background, a literal/general translation is recommended.
