Ok, I´m far from getting to this point, but I just wanted to hear how this works.

Being brazilian, I won´t be able to get US citizenship, ´cus the law in Brasil states that I can only have dual citizenship if I was born from a foreign or at a foreign place that has the ius solis (citizenship based on where you were born). I can´t have dual citizenship by marrying an american. That much I know.

Now, here´s my question, if in the long run, say, 5 years from now, my US fiance and I, being married, and after I have a green card, decide to live in Brasil, but not giving up on US entirely, like, we might go back after a couple of years, how will I mantain my status of permanent resident?

Also, as a permanent resident I don´t have to move foward, do I? I mean, I´ll have all my rights and lead a normal life in US without becoming a USC?

Well, I´m a lawyer (just graduated) and if you acquire the american nationality voluntarily, you lose your brazilian one, and you can only get it back if you prove you were "forced" to get the US one, like, for instance, if they won´t let you work or stay in US without being a citizen. That´s how soccer players retain their brazilian nationality, ´cus the clubs in Europe force them to become citizens.

I don't know about Brazil, but I do know that many countries have similar law, however they are not enforced. So the country would treat the person like he is only a citizen of that country (they ignore other citizenship), which may or may not be a problem.

I am not 100% certain on this, but my understanding is that if you move out of the US, you will no longer have perm residence, so if you decide to come back, you will need to go through the visa process again.
