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.
The power of concealment lies in revelation.

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. (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel ... ality.html)

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