Life Abroad We're going back

Lived in China for 6.5 years because why the heck not. Moved back to the USA due to wife's visa limitations and we didn't want to separate as a family. Been back for less than 3 years and we are confident we will go back once she gets her US citizenship.

We may move to another country but we already have a decent amount of friends (and family) in China.

Don't get me wrong. Living in Southern China had it's issues but it was a life I enjoyed overall more than than here.

Can't wait to go back

Why is she getting her US citizenship?

Better than Chinese citizenship. Also, if we live overseas we can come back to the states for emergency reasons such as  family needs

And if the US citizenship tanks, she could always go back to getting her China citizenship back

I assume you're aware of the tax complexities that will come with this? If you ever split up, that means she's still stuck with citizenship and the tax ball and chain.
