Hello everyone! How are you feeling today? 

 

So... My husband is getting ready to move back to the USA after nearly a year spent in Europe with me because we got married here. 

 

Today I saw that there might be some issues with his return. He is going to stay in a hotel for a bit for saving up, he has a job offer and had his tax return... Plus he was born in the USA and has his birth certificate with him... Will he really have troubles to go back? What else does he need?

What kind of trouble did you see?  A USC is guaranteed entry.  Passport is his entry document.

I am... Worried that he might have troubles since he was away from the USA, even because he is going to stay in a hotel so technically he doesn't have a proper address to live... Which I think will also pull us back for the CR1

Much ado about nothing.   A USC can be out of the country for decades,  have no permanent address and still will be allowed in.   There are no requirements to maintain citizenship.
