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?

    Another option is move to Spain for 2 years and then she’d be eligible for Spanish citizenship. Then you and her could legally live in the EU, which is a nice bonus to have.

      I really love this idea. So happens her bother lives in the UK. Even though they’re not part of the EU anymore she hasn’t been able to spend much time with him and his family in recent years. Bonus the Spanish passport is even stronger than the US.
