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?
What’s your timeline? Citizenship, I think, takes about 18-24 months. I’m not sure if that’s a deciding factor or not, or if you care about throwing more money at Uncle Sam even though you’re not planning on living here long term.
