I am in a similar situation... and I'm wondering if I should become a PR of Morocco or do the perpetual tourist thing, as mentioned above. I'm also not familiar with the differences between what one is permitted to do as a tourist vs. a PR in Morocco. I also plan to ship my truck and truck bed camper to Morocco. It is a 2007, so I will have to make it a "perpetual tourist" and have it leave Morocco every 3 months...

I am planning to go to my (future) spouse's home country, Morocco, so that we can live together (I have lived in the US as a citizen my entire life). I currently don't meet the minimum income requirements to be a sponsor. So the plan is to live in Morocco with him, get married there, and save up money, all while working remotely for a US company as an independent contractor (this is what I am currently doing for my job). They say you have to meet the minimum income requirements for 3 years in a row-- so I'm assuming that means I would have to live in Morocco for as long as it would take to meet that income requirement and maintain it, before applying for the visa, whichever one would be best. I say "have to live in Morocco" because we refuse to be separated from each other and plane tickets to the US and back are way too expensive.

I am not sure if it would be better for me to become a perpetual tourist (meaning that I would leave Morocco to a different country other than the US every 90 days and re enter Morocco shortly thereafter), or if I can and should establish permanent residency in Morocco while maintaining my US citizenship, of course. Would I be able to prove domicile with either of these? I would keep my US bank, US student loan payments, and US vehicle financing payments the entire time. The goal is for us to not have to be separated at any time in the process. Any insights would be extremely appreciated, as this seems like a very complex situation!

**neither of us have ever been married before, no children, and no criminal records.

What about this scenario?
