Hi!

I was hoping whether anyone out there can help with my question.

I am a PRC passport holder and last month became a naturalized US citizen and recd my US passport. I have used my PRC passport to travel in and out of China from/in Hong Kong without any problem since I have a dependent visa to live in Hong Kong on my PRC passport.

My question is can I use my PRC passport to trave from/to China to/ from US or another country like Japan instead of using my US passport. For example, if I enter and exit China, I will use my PRC passport and then use my US passport to enter the US. Is this possible as I heard that China customs will not allow a PRC passport holder to exit China without the appropriate visa. Before I received my US passport, I have travelled to the US from China with my China passport and US green card without any probelm

If this is not possible, would I have to take the long way by transiting through Hong Kong first since I already have a Hong Kong dependent visa? The reason for my question is obvious since I will not have to pay any China visa fees.
