Not sure I'll get the answer here, but hopefully someone else may have been in the same situation.
I'm a dual citizen (US/DR) married to a Colombian national holding a US permanent resident card (she did not get her
PR through me). She's already qualified to apply for US citizenship, but until then we must deal with what's at hand.
I'm seriously contemplating relocating to DR due to a business opportunity there. My concern is with the restrictions the US Immigration & Naturalization Service places on permanent residents being out of the US for longer than six months. Are there any special exemptions for permanent residents married to US citizens that relocate out of the US for work or business related purposes? Can she apply for US Citizenship from the DR while residing there?
If it gets too hairy, we'd probably just opt to get her citizenship done stateside prior to moving there. But when it comes to business, time is of the essence, if you know what I mean.
Thanks in advance.
