Look my dear a nice story : once i was travelling from Didim to Ankara by Pamukkale Turizm ( to be read like a comercial ) by buss ( long, long way) . The buss was almost emty, i was in back. On the buss was a young beautiful, blue eyed driver ( there are 3 or 4 on a long route). He stayed in back..started to ask me if i want tea or coffee..he let me smoke there, we talked alot.... He got down on Aydýn because his working time was finished. We changed numbers... When my buss left Aydýn he kept looking after me like a ..cow you are taking to sacrifice... After few days i recieved some sms i couldnt bealive my eyes! ( You can find those kind of words only on our friend Canimarab´s translation requests  !) Was his wife making me in all ways and sending me back to the place where i was before i got born!

What really cracks me up is I only needed to be married to him for 3 years and I was able to become a Turkish citizen....no questions asked!   At least I don´t have to pay the 20 dollar Visa fee when we go back to Turkey every year!

Just curious, you mentioned visa renewals, I´m assuming you live in the USA, can´t he just get a green card or become US citizen?

 He has a green card but you still have to renew it every so often.  We just had the conditions removed from his temporary greencard.  Amazingly enough, he isn´t interested in becoming a citizen...shock and disbelief!

I can sort of see where he´s coming from. It was emotionally difficult for me as well to make that move, I know it´s irrational, but it sort of felt like treason against my own country. I had to be absolutely positive that I wouldn´ t be deprived of my Polish citizenship and fortunatelly US doesn´t force you to give up your passport (maybe with some exceptions), so I was calling the Polish consulate and asking the people at the INS just to be sure lol. It is a huge convenience though (no more renewals) and you don´t have to prove your status as often. AND you can vote too (which was the exciting part for me)!.  And I´ve heard there´s some debate about not allowing children who are born in USA to non-US citizens to have citizenship (I´m not sure if it´s law yet or not), so that´s another argument for it.

 I am quite amazed he doesn´t want to be a citizen.  I would not want to risk going out of the country to be detained in another country.  You have less risk being an American citizen.

Unless you travel in the Middle East or Pakistan, India, etc. I wouldn´t dare use my US passport there (unless I was travelling with an organized group).

No problems yet.  He is a perminent resident but still carries his Turkish passport.  The only problem we have is the Turkish nationals usually have to pay a higher Visa fee for other countries (example...when we went to Mexico, I didnt´ have to pay anything and he had to pay a couple hundred dollars.)

OMG, wow!!!   What a dipshit.. I must say that I was having lots of very "helpful" guys when I was in turkey, some of them, I´m sure must have been married!

I`m wondering why my comment was deleted and how come theH is not sharing his thoughts on the issue with us

 TheH is not here because you advised Jenniecakes to PM him .
