You left, but failed to do one more step in the process I encourage.

You kept your US citizenship.

I support leaving and publicly renouncing US citizenship. Then US registration laws no longer apply, period.

Call Al Jazeera and have them film you and your family publicly burning your US passports...... Make a huge scene..... after all, we ALL have the right to be Stateless and the US cannot overrule International human Law and force you not to be Stateless.

See an abbreviation or acronym, but don't know what it stands for? Consult the Glossary.

i can understand that.  i did leave.  i did not do to run away, rather i left to spare my family some difficult times due to some very harrassing people they were having to endure as long as i was within a bus ticket's distance.  i did make the most of it and prepared well, i think.  now everyone is acceptibly happy and harrassment free.

as far as being on the run, be careful with that thinking!  if you do decide to leave, plan well and far in advance.  do your homework.  make sure your registration statute even makes a provision for the possibility of leaving the country.  my state did not.  as the law read, the local authority had to be able to verify that i had established residency and reported to the new jurisdiction.  this they were not willing to do, as they could not speak the foreign language.  they determined that as an so under registration restrictions i was not eligible to leave the country for more than 3 months at a time.  they decided that i must come back to register every three months or be charged with non-compliance and face the life sentence music for failing to register that they now have in this state.

i had to petition the court and get a judge to rule on the issue.  the judge ruled that no registration law can prevent an so from leaving as long as all the change of registration jurisdiction forms were filled out to best of my ability.  since local authorities have zero authority to verify with a foreign police department, it was necessary only to give them the city in which i intended to live.  there are two reasons for this.  most people don't have permanent residency established for several weeks.  also, what happens if i decided to stay there for a few days and move on to another country.  as it was i really did not have a permanent address arranged until several weeks later when i arranged for my residency visa.

i sure did not want a felony warrant being issued for my arrest.  that would be really bad.  any international airport would most likely see that and i would be detained until...well, who knows?

if you do decide to leave, do it for the right reasons.  there are tremendous oppurtunities around the world for skilled people.  if you are adventurous and able to learn a foreign language quick and use non-verbal communication well, you can get along pretty well.  but the separation from ones family is a little painful, so be prepared to get a support system in place immediately upon arrival.  you know the possible consequences if you fall back into thinking distortions and risky behavior, right?

i have gained quite a bit of knowledge about foreign travel over the years and even more as a traveling felon.  there are many myths out there about traveling abroad as a felon.  i would be happy to share that knowledge for anyone who really thinks they would be better off abroad.
