Guys, Quick Qs.
I came to visit friends and family in China right after getting my US citizenship then found a job here and stayed. Now two years passed, My husband and I got married by the end of 2009 in China.
We are planning to move back to US in a year or two. Would there be any prob for me, since I left US right after becoming citizen for two years straight? BTW, I don't think I'll have time to go back to US in the coming one year or two as well due to my job in China. Is there some sort of residence requirement for naturalied US citizen living aboard to maintain their citizenship?

P.S.Filing oversea income seems quite key in terms of maitain your citizenship for those who lived aboard from what I heard.
Please answer. Thanks in advance.
 
No. There is no requirement to maintain US citizenship.
Legally you do not need to live in US once you become citizen. This requirement is only for Permanent Residents (or green cards). But you should file your taxes every year.
