Let's say, I marry in South Korea. Does my wife become an American citizen? But what if I would rather be a South Korean citizen? Is it possible for me to become a permanent korean resident once we marry?

  1. The government of the Republic of Korea does not permit dual citizenship after the age of 21. Foreign citizens of Korean descent who hold dual citizenship under South Korean law and work or study in South Korea are usually compelled by the Republic of Korea to choose one or the other nationality soon after reaching that age.

    In addition, South Korean men over the age of 18, including foreign citizens of Korean descent, are subject to compulsory military service. A dual national may not be allowed to abandon his Republic of Korea nationality until he finishes his military service, or has received a special exemption from military service. In some cases, men of South Korean descent visiting from overseas have been forcibly drafted upon visiting the country, despite having never been there before and not having Korean citizenship

  4. It is  a long process to get her into the U.S. She does not become a citizen because you are married. You can become a resident of Korea, but that takes time too.

  5. She can become a U.S. Citizen, not sure what S. Korean citizenship requirements are!
