xxDandelionxx: Why not? There is a world beyond the USA, ya know?!
yes i know, I couldnt leave my family and live in anouther country .It wouldnt feal right id feal like i was a trader .There are many places i would love to visit .
JSuburbia: I have to give this an absolute yes. If both parties can feasably make it happen, then I don't see why not. Love is something that is in short supply in this world and something that should not be taken for granted nor should it be something that is left to wonder. I know for a fact, if I found someone that I truly loved after and we had been together (physically) for some time, I'd move in a heartbeat. There is no dream in this life that even compares to being finally with the one that you know you will love for all time.
I'm a firm believer that love knows no boundries...HOWEVER (good lord there is always a however with my posts) I think both people involved in the relationship must make an extra effort to really determine if this is what both want and if that is what they both truly desire. It's a monumental decision, one I've never had to make, and maybe that's why it's so easy for me to say yes, but I do feel that there has to be some sort of way for them to see one another on a consistant basis to really establish the relationship as something that is and can be built on love.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong...
well, yeah for a right man...who really would LOVE me (and see not the practical aspect of the situation only -such as how much money he has to spend to visit me etc :)and mad enough to commit to a long distance relationship. I WOULD RELOCTE:)

Probably not. I still serve on a school board and my little girl lives with me and really likes her school. Besides it would have to be somewhere nicer, and I'm happy on the ocean.
Have any of your 50+ people thought about how you'd get to stay in another country?
For instance if I wanted to go to Australia or America, I wouldn't be able to relocate there. They don't accept permanent residents who are 50+, (unless, of course I had a million to deposit in America, in which case, provided I never touched it, I'd get to stay).
American people coming to Ireland don't get residency either, except in exceptional circumstances, (like a univeristy really needing them, or doing a job an Irish person couldn't do), unless their parents were born here, in which case they have dual nationality.
Immigration laws for certain countries would leave some people not allowed to relocate, no matter how much in love they were.
I am having great difficulty getting my daughter in law to be, in here for a visit, because she is Ukranian, (and it is not an EU affiliated country). We have been trying for nearly a year to get her a visa and so far no-go. She is only 25 and is the mother of my grandson.
All well and fine saying you'd relocate, but it may not be possible..........

Relocation to most countries is possible, especially within the EU. And for a short time all countries. If it works out marriage is a certain avenue for citizenship in nearly all countries.

I don't know what you're talking about...but America does not do this..here is a link to how to become a legal US resident.
Ask any non US citizen how hard it is to become legal US resident.. *I'm talking about European people*
Hi Serpenta..I didn't say it was necessarily easy, I quoted her age limitations on becoming a US citizen and wondered where she got that information from is all.
I was going to relocate there a few years back, and I read the fine print. The conditions prohibited me from going there.
Take a look at the categories and the waiting times here, as much as 10 years to get approval in some cases......We don't all have family there or PHDs.....

I don't fall into any of these categories you mentioned................
You May Qualify for Naturalization if:
* You have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years and meet all other eligibility requirements. See the “General Path to Naturalization” link under “Citizenship by Naturalization” to the left. * You have been a permanent resident for 3 years or more and meet all eligibility requirements to file as a spouse of a U.S. citizen. See the “Spouses of U.S. Citizens” link under “Citizenship by Naturalization” to the left. * You have qualifying service in the U.S. armed forces and meet all other eligibility requirements. See the “Information for Members of the Military and Their Families” link to the right. * Your child may qualify for naturalization if you are a U.S. citizen, the child was born outside the U.S., the child is currently residing outside the U.S., and all other eligibility requirements are met.
zhkhan88: Would you relocate for love? How Far Would You Go For Love?
Me personally No... I love this island...my kids are settled...and my g-kids noooo... If I can not find something here...then I'll tell my self to go jump in a lake...

I've known a few people who relocated for love, and then it didn't work out, and there they were, stranded in a place where they didn't know anybody, what a hassle. You know that song, "Nobody knows you when you're down and out"? It's true. I've got a bright idea--be the one the other person really wants--have them move to YOU. I don't recommend moving far away, and then being stuck, JMO.
Yes, if it is God's Will, it is very possible and nothing and no one can stop that.
Plus if it is the right person, definitely yes...and Praise God, becoz God directed me and my Trulee01 to one another.... ... .....It is such a " Precious Gift " and a "Great Blessing " we can consider that God has given to both of us and keep giving us that we always appreciate so much every single day of our lives....God is really sooooooooooo good for those who have "Faith in Him "and to His Son, " Jesus Christ ".....Glory be to God, in Jesus Christ name, amen....
God bless every heart of you all..... ... ... ...
This is just one of our ""Great Testimonies " about what God has been doing to our lives and our relationship and to others too...Praise God and to God be the Glory.... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Absolutely i would ... thing is sometimes the person id like to move for that i was seeing for 2 years .. planned on having a kid with and planned on getting married... doubted my commitment to do the move... she wasnt sure i was ready... i gave up everything for her and basically did everything i could to ensure she had someoone who loved her constantly by her side...
Wanting to move away blindly after her ex husband ..sure i can handle that but dont doubt my resolve if i say im in...
