About:Dual Nationality

I am a naturalized US citizen. I am considering to work in China, but with family still in the US who are also US citizens. If I apply for Chinese citizenship and lose my US citizenship, can I get a greencard to enter the US freely? Thanks

You should ask USA immigration office.

You will not automatically lose your US citizenship by taking out PRC citizenship. This will only occur for PRC purposes -- i.e., the PRC will not recognise your US citizenship and you must travel on a PRC passport when entering the PRC.

In the US, you have to formally renounce your citizenship, and this may only be done for certain, bona fide purposes (e.g., not for taxation purposes, etc.).

Have a look at the US Secretary of State website detailing privileges and responsibilities of US citizenship.

Good luck.
