| Sep 23, 2019 at 1:09 | comment | added | Patricia Shanahan | I agree with @NateEldredge. "I have decided to return to live in the US." | |
| Sep 22, 2019 at 23:14 | comment | added | Nate Eldredge | 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. | |

| Sep 22, 2019 at 21:04 | comment | added | Hilmar | @JonathanReez: true, but without a valid passport you won't be able to board a plane to the US. So unless you can get yourself to a land border, you still need a passport | |
| Sep 22, 2019 at 19:51 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | @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. | |
| Sep 22, 2019 at 19:32 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | @HenningMakholm he is, but there's no penalty for failing to do so: travel.stackexchange.com/questions/85389/… | |
| Sep 22, 2019 at 18:55 | comment | added | hmakholm left over Monica | Perhaps it deserves mention that the OP is obliged to carry an American passport rather than just one of any different citizenship he has. | |
