I bet this question has been asked before, but I cannot find anything threads on the topic, so here goes...
I was born and raised in the United States and moved to the UK in my mid thirties to be with my British wife. I never gave up my American citizenship, and I've become a dual citizen (I got British citizenship through my wife). We got married in Miami, Florida over 10 years ago (if it would help with her case) and we have a daughter (she too has dual citizenship).
My wife and I heard something to the effect that if we've been married such a long time, she could be eligible to become an American citizen and does not need a green card.
Is this true? If so, how do we apply for her to get American citizenship? And can it be done while still living outside the country?
