Your fingerprints always belong to you and not the documents involved. We would see all prior encounters regardless of past or current declared nationality, or identity.
Nice to see a prompt and pretty thorough response.

The DHS/CBP's claim in that last sentence is not necessarily a given.

[The US doesn't prohibit US citizens from being dual-nationals -- we just will only officially recognize a US citizen's US nationality. This practice of the US is quite common for countries that don't have a prohibition against their nationals holding their citizenship and that of another country at the same time. Other countries have a prohibition against their citizens being dual-nationals -- this kind of ban covers substantial populations in places in Africa and in Asia that were once ruled by Europeans.]
