If I'm out of this country for more then a year, would I lose my U.S. citizenship?

No, as long as you have your citizenship.  The One Year Policy only applies to green card holders.  Just make sure that, if you are working abroad, you file your American taxes or you could be in trouble with the IRS when you come back.

nooo its a long way\nyou have to stay at usa for at least 2 years, mean while you will have a temp g.card\nthen probably after 2 or 3 years or more you will have the permanent, \nfor each of those you will need some forms and certain documentations, most of those forms start with an I lol\ndont worry once u get the permanent, very soon after that you will get your own passport, it just involves alot of changin status forms\ncongrats

The answer is you can lose your status. A permanet resident (not a citizen) can lose their opportunity to stay here(America) if they break a variety of laws. There are 15 violations listed of the paperwork... A simple DUI IS GROUNDS, not being able to support yourself......It's a very interesting ambigous law....

I would move and stay a citizen of my present country.

I believe so.  I would call either the immagration office, or a lawyer that gives free advice.  They can tell you if there is any longer wait time, etc.

You'll be deported immidieatly if your are an alien, also you will never be allowed to enter the country again.\nIf you are a local you have to pay a hefty fine, at the worst you'll loose your hands.

You can renounce your United States citizenship, but you must either do so in another country or be prepared to apply for a nonimmigrant visa. The site below has the process for renoucning it.

You are free to go to virtually any country, and with a temporary visa get work, and a home.  The biggest stipulation is if you want to change your citizenship.  This would mean you denounce all American citizenship.  Once that is done, you cannot recover it.  You cannot re-obtain American citizenship if you voluntarily give it up.\nAssuming that you do not change citizenship, you would only be entitled to a bare minimum of the countries benefits...unfortunate, but they are not like the US and just give you stuff cause your there.

It depends on how you become a citizen. Most citizens are born citizens, which happens to anyone born in the United States or US territory, unless they are born to a foreign diplomat and to anyone born to a US citizen as long as the parents lived in the US at some point.\n\nTo naturalize as a citizen, you must first somehow become a permanent resident, which can happen a large number of ways. You must then remain in the United States aside from short vacations for a particular number of years, depending on the basis for your permanent residence, apply for citizenship, and take a test.

you will be charged with fraud, they will be deported and not allowed back into the USA and you will be fined and probably go to jail for a long time.  You will also be on an IRS watch list.  DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!

Yes. A naturalized citizen CAN lose their citizenship, if it is discovered that it was obtained by fraud, such as by concealing a criminal record in their native country.\n\n** Any American can lose citizenship IF by his own choice, he\n1) serves in the armed forces of another country\n2) serves as an official to another country\n3) becomes a naturalized citizen of another country\n4) renounces his citizenship and declares allegiance to another country.

It makes me seriously consider renouncing my citizenship, moving to a foreign country, then comming back across the border as an undocumented immigrant (illegal alien).  They have more rights than we do now.

You may not take citizenship of another country but if you are automatically entitled to citizenship of another country you may retain it.  The USA had to soften its approach on this in recognition of other countries' claims on their citizens.\n\nHowever, the USA does not encourage dual citizenship.  The main reason is that it can make it very difficult to assist a dual citizen when they are abroad.  In that sense, a lot depends on which country you are a dual citizen in.

I would assume that it is poss-able. However that may put the citizenship of the American at danger. Taking up the colours (Brit spelling, I think :) of a foreign power can be a cause of losing citizenship. Since the Lim.. er British are our friends then I think the poss ability of this happening is small. Come to think of it there are some American Jews who have served in  Israel's SDF and still retain citizenship. I would consult a lawyer just in case.

You will automatically get US citizenship, but you should not give up your Canadian citizenship.
