| Jun 4, 2017 at 4:31 | comment | added | Vladimir F Героям слава | Do not citizens have to pay taxes to the US even from abroad? He would remember doing that. | |

| Jun 3, 2017 at 19:26 | comment | added | Augustine of Hippo | It is highly unlikely he is a citizen. You don't automatically get citizenship through marriage, you file for it and he definitely would have remembered considering the elaborate song and dance you have to go through before approval. I suspect he was a permanent resident. | |

There would have been a ceremony where you took an oath and people said patriotic things and clapped and everything. It ought to have at least been a generally memorable occasion. And you would have handed in your green card and been invited to apply for a US Passport. | |
| Jun 3, 2017 at 19:00 | comment | added | phoog | @NiettheDarkAbsol if you were naturalized, and never renounced your citizenship then you are a citizen still. If you were never naturalized, then you were never a citizen. If you still had your green card when you left the US then you were almost certainly never a US citizen. | |
| Jun 3, 2017 at 18:49 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | @NiettheDarkAbsol It's probably worth finding out, since if you're a citizen, you're supposed to enter and exit the US on your US passport (you're also supposed to file a tax return in many cases, even if you don't owe anything), and if you're a permanent resident, you should decide for yourself whether you want to keep that status and act accordingly. | |
| Jun 3, 2017 at 18:14 | comment | added | Niet the Dark Absol | @phoog I'm not sure if I am a citizen any more. My marriage ended and I promptly left to return to the UK, where I've been living since. Don't really know (nor particularly care) what my status is, but that'd be for another question another time. | |
