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?
My mom and dad are completely different nationalities (one North American, the other dual European-Australian).
I now live in my father’s country and my mother desperately wishes she could be with the kids and I but can’t because of immigration ties.
Probably not directly relevant to your situation because you guys are married, but just an illustration of how devastating it could be for your future kids to find themselves in a situation where they need to live in one country but their other parent can’t access it.
