In 2005 I with my parents left for Pakistan. My parent work in Pakistan thats why. Now I want to come to US again. I got my US passport issued last year when I turned 16 for 10 years validity. I want to come to Houston to my aunt, to live with her and do my high school while living with her and college etc. Do I need any kind of special document to present at Airport?

If you are a citizen and have a US Passport they'll say welcome home. Bring all of your school transcripts with you to make high school graduation easier. Good luck.

You may want to obtain a letter from both your parents authorizing your travel to the U.S. with the U.S. passport in case the airline needs such document. Your aunt in Texas will need to be issued an " Authorization Document" ( FORM 2638 on the website of DFPS.state.tx.us) by your parents.

If you have a US passport, that is all you need. A US citizen may live abroad indefinitely.
