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?

    She can always get citizenship if she is the mother of your children. She may want to do it. Depending on the time you have been married you may not need to move back to America. She may be eligible because you have been together for so long.

      Can you elaborate on that? I’ve never heard of mother’s getting citizenship without going through the whole process as everyone else

        I can’t comment as I am American by birth. I have read a variety of visas options for people married to American citizens. options

        Also I was wrong by writing citizenship- the main issue is that your wife hasn’t t been caught over staying a visa in America. You can apply for a visa for her in the country you got married another option.
