My wife and I got married a few years back and the plan was always to get her residency in the US and then citizenship and then move back to her home country. The more I think about it though, the more I don’t want to spend 3-5 years back there. For those who have spouses with citizenship, why did you do it? For those with spouses without citizenship, are there any benefits you’re missing out on based on them not having it?

    If it were me, I wouldn’t explore US citizenship for my wife. The US is a capitalist hellscape, that’s barely affordable to simply survive in, especially if you have any health conditions. If you have children, don’t tell the US, otherwise it’s another tax burden for them to deal with when they get older.
