US Military man getting married to Dutch College student in netherlands.?
I'm not quite sure how to work everything out, neither her. She is in her first year of college but she wants to move over here when we get married, i am in the united states airforce so she could easily live on base with me, but what about becoming a citizen and everything like that, and also because the goverment pays for her college how would that work over here is there and programs for international students that anyone knows of. and what else would we all have to do to get the situation squared away, thank you all who answer this helping me. god bless!

Locate your nearest USCIS liason. They will have one on base. Tell them your situation and they should be able to guide you. You can also go to the USCIS website and ask a representative. She should be able to apply for a green card once you are married. Good luck!

Congratulations. You can probably talk to folks at your military installation and get practical info about your situation, much more efficiently than here. A foreigner who marries a U.S. citizen qualifies to become a U.S. citizen, but it takes a couple of years to complete that process. The Dutch system of paying for college only works for...Dutch universities. Not going to work if she joins you in the US.

You said that she is in her first year of college now, meaning that she started about a month ago or so. If this is her first study, and quits the school before February 1st (don't know the exact date, she should check that on the site we students get our money from - www.ib-groep.nl), she can get the money back she payed for college (It was 1620 Euro this year I think). It is possible to receive money from the government if you study abroad, but there are certain conditions. You should also check that on the site of the IB-groep. Maybe she can mail them for the possibilities. However, if she becomes an US citizen, she will lose her Dutch citizenship and is no longer eligible to receive money from the government. Hope I helped!
