I believe you would then want to contrast against the verb - maybe something like "Nem amerikai vagyok, hanem leszek" ("I'm not American (yet), but I will be").
Magyar beszélőknek - a fölött lévő elmagyarázás helyes?

Your example should probably have "Nem vagyok amerikai..." to make it clear what you are explaining :) i.e. that the "nem" is in front of the thing that you are contrasing - here, the verb.

I think "Nem vagyok amerikai, hanem mexikói" is also correct. (But nem amerikai vagyok.... sounds a bit better)

En nem amerikai vagyok hanem mexikoi is not accepted. Why adding a personal pronoun is a mistake?
