On what basis are you re-applying?

Is it possible to reapply for U.S. citizenship after having renounced it? I am a U.S. citizen who would applied for citizenship of another country that required me to renounce my citizenship. I would like to know if I am eligible to reapply.
Did you return your US passport to the US consulate and indicate you are renouncing your US citizenship? You will be applying for US citizenship on what basis? Based on this information from the State Dept, it appears you are screwed beyond repair....

Did you renounce your citizenship in front of a US government official, using the official renunciation process? I hope you are aware that an oath or statement of renunciation made to foreign officials using their process doesn't have the result of renunciation of US citizenship.

The N400 form only prints residency and family related requirements on it, so from what you disclosed, I see no reason why you couldn't apply any time under those conditions. The only pertinent N400 question may be the one about previous declaration of US citizenship, but you can add a note that you did that legally, with a copy of your old US passport, I guess, so it can't ban you. A lawyer may even have some USCIS form alternative to N400 that titles something like "re-application for citzenship", although I've never seen one.

... that required me to renounce my citizenship. .
As part of an oath or by officially renouncing your US citizenship in front of a US consulate official?

After your renunciation, did you move back to the US and obtain a green card?
