Does anyone else have the experience of being in a relationship where you’re from different countries but you met and started a life in a third? And then you tried to live in either of your home countries but your relationship somehow works better when you’re in a third country?
Or am I alone in this? It’s a very strange existence.
Well, I wouldn’t say being forced, but we’re having lack of options, for an American-iranian couple to live together and raise a baby together without a green card we’re basically limited to turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Thailand, Ecuador and american Samoa. Most of those aren’t for long term residency, most of those are for 4-6 weeks and then we’d have to move again to another country on this list and play round robin every 4-6 weeks country hopping. Our options are basically get a green card or I go to one country with our baby and she goes back to Iran, and she’s married a non-muslim American and had a baby with a non-muslim American, which is punishable by death in Iran. So…our choices are go to america or worry that my wife could be killed. No joke.
