kari, we've talked about what we would do in a such a situation, since
we've been moving around a lot these past few years. If we did this
before DAH naturalizes, I think we'd get the re entry permit for the
'just in case'. If you truly are abandoning your US residence, I'm sure
the consulate abroad would have info for you on re-immigrating. In fact,
there've been a couple of posts from ppl doing just that in the past
month. You do have to start over, but can DCF as the USC would be
resident abroad.
