Here's is a question that might stump a lot of people. When she moves here and even stays for 2 or 3 years (maybe even 10) but wants to retire back in China, should she even try to file for US citizenship? Will she loose the ability to return to China?

Thanks

My understanding from a Chinese friend is that if she takes a US Citizenship she will automatically loose her Chinese citizenship due to Chinese laws. But my friend also has a US Green card presently and has no issue returning to china, and even still owns property there.

Just a curious question: Will she be the only one retiring to China? Not taking her loving spouse along?

Residence and citizenship are different animals. What makes you think a US Citizen cannot enter China? Haven't you been there? The issue, my wife are dealing with is how she maintains her LPR status for the US, if we spend too much time in China. She may need US citizenship at some point to avoid losing her green card. The only problem no the China side for a US Citizen is obtaining a visa that allows "residence". It can get complicated.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

Our plan is (maybe just pipe dreaming), she's talking about wanting to live here in the US for about 2 years. Work very hard and save. Then we would both return to China and start a small business or get some rental property. She also wants to teach me chinese during this time.
