Citizenship for beginner competitions?

Nope. You can even compete at Regionals as a non-US citizen. I know a Russian that has competed there.
We know a different family whose skater now represents another Federation (joint citizenship). That parent told me that there is nothing that prevents her daughter from also skating at Regionals.

I think Alexei Krasnozhon does not have US citizenship and represents the US internationally.
Here's an interview from 2016 where he said he did not have it at that time: https://www.ifsmagazine.com/alexei-kasnozhon-chasing-american-dream/

You need citizenship for the country you're representing for the Olympics but that's about it. Even at the World Championships, so long as a skater gets ISU clearance and meets certain residency requirements, they're in the clear.
So you're good to go, frostea!
