I was out of the country for 2 weeks and when I came back at JFK airport in New York the officer at border control asked me what am I doing here after I gave him my US pasport. I told him that I live here, he then asked me how long I was out of the country and what I do for a living here. I answered his question and then he put arrival stamp in my pasport and gave it back to me. The question here is why did he ask me these weird questions? Is it because I am a citizen of another country as well or is it because he thought I live in another country and come to US once every 5 years? I always thought that once I am US citizen I can stay abroad as long as I wish without the risk of losing my US citizenship. I traveled out of the country last year and noone asked me any questions at the airport when I came back. Has this happened to anyone?
