Hirayuki posted:] Ask when he does his interview. For a less authoritative answer: The bigger issue is actually the ESTA because the airline checks that and won’t know his citizenship status. If his green card is taken away but he doesn’t yet have his passport, then it will be a bit of a doozy since a green card holder can’t normally get an ESTA, although you can try and maybe the system doesn’t check. At US immigration on the way back they will scan his NZ passport, see he is a US citizen, and be annoyed at him for not using his US passport. He’ll then explain he hasn’t gotten it yet and they’ll shrug and scan him through or, theoretically, send him for a second round of discussions with the back office. I know several people this has happened to - people with kids born with US Birth citizenship but then who got the passport one time, moved back to Europe, and then didn’t want to have to pay $150 and deal with passport renewal hassle every 7 years when they go back to the US, so they just get yelled at every time instead and enter on European passports. Now I’m not sure how they dealt with the ESTA thing, but my MIL’s best friend just did that with her son so I guess they figured out a solution. Having no green card or ESTA is, surprisingly, the far bigger problem than having no US passport while standing in front of US immigration.
