Dual Nationality
U.S. citizens, including dual citizens, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States. We would recommend that you visit the following page for specific information concerning the usage of passports for dual citizens when entering the United States: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/Advice-about-Possible-Loss-of-US-Nationality-Dual-Nationality/Dual-Nationality.html.
Dual citizens who entered Malaysia using their Malaysian passport are typically required by Malaysian Immigration to depart using their Malaysian passports and subject to any exit restrictions applicable to Malaysian citizens.
