USC, Would You Move to Your SO's Country One Day in the Future?

[Asante Maroon 0]

Ever since my first trip to Ghana, I have been struck by the bug . I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging...Like I had been there before. When I left Ghana after my first trip, I developed a sense of "home sickness". I guess it was pretty easy for me because many parts of Ghana strongly resembles Jamaica (where my family is from)....Not to mention there is a strong love out there for Jamaica and its culture music!

But, strange enough Ghana has had the greatest impact on me, than any other place I have been, here or abroad. I say: "strange enough" because I knew Ghana is where I wanted to be almost immediately.

Many SO's have asked their USC SO's if they would ever consider moving to their home country....or they have simply made the statement that they would eventually like to return "back home" once they have made some sort of financial accomplishment, etc.... here in the US

....I guess I was a little strange in that, I told my SO when we were just getting to know each other, that I would LOVE to live in Ghana...he never had to ask me.

I can already envision my home and have ideas of what I would like to do when I am there. I think about it all the time!!! It makes me feel good, happy, and gives me something to work towards...

So, obviously my answer is YES YES YES :yes: I would ABSOLUTELY love to live in my SO's home country...I feel like it already home to me

What about you? How do you feel and why??? Don't forget to vote too!

regardless of my marital demise , I would consider part-time residency in ghana .

I fell in love with the beach, the ambiance and the serenity of it all .

I did not like the some of the attitudes I encountered , but attitudes are every where; here and abroad, so I just disregard the bad and soak up the good .

if I had my way , I'd spend half of the fall and all of the winters there,

with spring and summer in the good ol' u.s. of a .

(gotta have the best of both worlds) .

We have talked about it. But we are more apt to move to Dubai...as opposed to Pakistan.

Y'all already know that my family is from Ghana (except my sisters and parents) so going back is not something I have to think about. Its not something we think about because we know it is going to happen, whether its in 5 years ir 50.

I lived one year in Russia already to be with my fiancée and to know her and her family properly. As long as we could have a normal life, I would happily move back for always. I chose a future wife not a country.

It's no secret, anyone who has read my posts will tell you...yes I would move to Nova Scotia in a New York minute if I were legally able to bring my daughter with me. Until that time, we are here in the US.

Nigeria isn't the most stable place but his village is such a wonderful place. We have plans for building there and on his property in Enugu. I have children here so splitting time makes more sense than moving full time. I don't fit in as naturally as I would like right away as his village is fairly remote and doesn't get visitors often.

I have already lived there for a few years. I would go back in a minute if that were in the cards. In reality though, it is best to stick it out through naturalization. Only 23 months left before we can file.

As I was actually born there, and having observed how my parents lived there, I can picture myself there--but the picture is NOT one that makes the idea desirable.

Alex says, 'yes! I would have no objections to that'.

We were originally going to live in the UK anyway, but right now California is the better option for us both.

We are probably equally close to both of our families and wherever we chose to live we'd have been leaving behind close friends and a large supportive family, so we'd have been happy in either country, really.

My husband and I talk about moving back to Brazil pretty often, so I voted YES, but given financial stability. My plan is to go for my MA here and then search for a job in Brazil. In the meantime, my husband will improve his English and apply for citizenship.

We met while I was living in Brazil and I'd like to move back, but I want to know that I can give a good life to my future children.

Ditto on securing a good life for the future children!

Thanks for responding

We would live in the UK if it was financially possible...alas, we are not made of money...

But it could always happen in the future...

IN A HEART BEAT. I HAD PLANNED TO MOVE THERE AT THE END OF THIS MONTH IF MY WIFE DID NOT HAVE A VISA YET. NOW SHE HAS AN INTERVIEW SIX DAYS AFTER MY PLANNED DEPARTURE DATE!

WHAT TIMING, NOW WE WILL WAIT AND SEE!!!

IT IS PLANNED FOR IN THE FUTURE. AFTER THE DEALINGS W/ USCIS, I WAS READY TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY AND NEVER RETURN. THERE ARE OPPROTUNITIES AVAILABLE THAT MAY STILL BE TO GOOD TO PASS UP.
