Thank you that is very helpful. If anyone else has any input it would be appreciated. We are currently enjoying Sydney but are starting early stages of reviewing the idea of living there for a period of time. Three years isn't too bad of an amount for the citizenship.

Hi there,

My partner (Australian) and I (American) are living in Sydney on a de facto partner visa. I have permanent residency in Australia. 

We are interested to understand what happens in the following general situation. 

My partner and I move to the US either on a spouse visa or a fiance visa. She becomes a permanent resident in the United States and after a couple years we decide we want to live in Australia for a given amount of time. 

What I'm wondering is generally how this 'back and forth' type life would be if we are not certain we would want to live in the US forever after moving there. Any feedback would be great and very much appreciated!
