Perhaps it deserves mention that the OP is obliged to carry an American passport rather than just one of any different citizenship he has.

@HenningMakholm he is, but there's no penalty for failing to do so: travel.stackexchange.com/questions/85389/…

@JonathanReez: true -- though I was thinking more about how proving his citizenship at the border (so he's allowed to intend to immigrate) would be rather more cumbersome without a US passport.

I might avoid using the word "immigrate", since as I understand it, in legal settings that usually refers to a non-citizen coming to live in the country. I would be concerned it might cause confusion or lead them to question whether you are really a citizen.

I agree with @NateEldredge. "I have decided to return to live in the US."
