Can't she become a british citizen? Will that not simplify things?
- jabbernotty 11y agoIt will probably make it more difficult to go to the country where she was born. This is a problem if she wants to go back quickly, for example when someone there is sick.
- icebraining 11y agoBoth countries allow for dual citizenship, so it shouldn't be a factor.
- foldr 11y agoThat's a long and expensive process. There seems to be a common belief that it's more or less automatic once you're married, but that's far from true in most countries, the US and UK included.
- binarymax 11y agoYou say that like we can just roll up to the immigration store and get a passport any time we like. 6 years minimum for her to get citizenship. It's been 3.5
- sombremesa 11y agoThe US is actually worse. I've been here 8 years and I'm not even a little bit closer than I was 8 years ago, to permanent residence let alone citizenship. I have a six figure salary. I should probably just get married.
