I am 50% Thai, 12.5% Karen , 12.5% Hmong, 25% Chinese. So I am mixed. Anyway I am considered myself as a full ethnic Thai when I go to any oversea country. It's would be some hard time to tell everything about mine blood line lol.
parents are Vietnamese....born in S. Korea and lived there for a little over a year....then moved back to Vietnam....then lived in Hong Kong briefly...then stayed half a year in Japan...then lived in Taiwan for a couple of years...and then back to Vietnam....finally immigrating to the U.S when the communists took over in 1975'.
There are certain employers/jobs that require a U.S Citizen, so you might really want to seriously consider getting it done...you might see a job that you like down the road, but as a result of your current status, you will be disqualified right away.

I'm a permanent resident of the United States, basically the same civic liberties except I cant vote. I could just change that though, if I ever do plan on applying for citizenship. The United States is realistically all I know, I've lived here for 20 of my 22 years of life starting before I even turned 1 year of age.
My parents have been between the United States & overseas all their life. My father was actually born and raised in the New York/New Jersey area, while my mother was born in India but became a citizen before I was born. My father was on a IT project in Singapore when I was born, I was out of the country long before I turned 1 and in the United States where I've grown up all my life (with 2 years in India: age 3 to 5).
At the present moment my plan is to retire in the western United States (in either Denver, Tucson, Seattle, or San Diego any of these would be ideal) but I am indeed looking to living overseas between age 35-45 but will eventually come back to the United States.
I was born and raised in Hong Kong where I still live today. I'm Eurasian; my father is part English, part Thai born in Bangkok and my mother Filipino (with some ancestral Chinese blood) from the Bicol region in the Philippines.
As for nationality, I have dual citizenship with the UK and the Philippines both acquired by descent.
