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?
I am a dual national American/Italian, and my wife is German. She has her greencard but not her US citizenship. We probably will be moving to Europe in a few years so I am not encouraging her to get her US citizenship.
At times I have thought about giving up my US citizenship, because it does not really afford me that much and is almost a stigma these days given the US’s horrific foreign policy blunders of the last 50 years. Hard to tell all of these different rogue countries apart these days.
