You need mountaineering equipment to scale the big, beautiful wall... fence... virtual fence... imaginary fence.
No legal expert here, but my first stop would be asking your foreign ministry and/or the American embassy.

I already climbed that wall, I actually have US citizenship. This is more about falling down on the other side.

If you're a US citizen who wishes to t ravel abroad or even live overseas (even permanently), I'd start with the travel.state.gov website.
Residency and Citizenship (nationality) are entirely different things; you remain a US National until you renounce it; keep your passport and you're fine.
If you're trying to gain citizenship in another nation, so long as they do not make you renounce your US nationality, you'r effectively a dual citizen. Note that most other states require you to renounce citizenship/nationality as part of the application process and even if you do retain US nationality, this can be quite nuanced.

Anyhow, start with travel.state.gov and talk with folks at the US Embassy if you're already abroad.
