Go through visa process or no?

[Michael C 0]

I married my Peruvian fiancee 3 weeks ago in Lima. Our plan was to have her come live here in Jacksonville, FL for 4 years, till I can retire and get full Soc. Security. Then, we would move back to Peru, where her home is paid off. 

Considering the time, hassle, and cost this will be, is there a different route we should consider?

There is only one route if you want her to be able to live in the US for 4 years; she needs a spousal immigration visa.

 

Also, you should look up the Social Security rules for survivor's benefits if that's important to you.  A foreign spouse may not be able to collect.

I would find an expat group living in Peru and ask the questions there, I am sure there are a few facebooks or google groups of US Citizens who have moved to Peru to retire. 

 

It also depends on what you want, I know guys whom have married girls and never cared about them coming to USA, they just visit them on a regular basis in their home country.   Other want them to get a US passport so they can travel to USA and back and to other countries.
