We are retiring to the Philippines next year (2014) and were wondering if my wife should get a brown card (Dual Citizenship) and how it will affect our filing of income taxes. Will she have to report her earnings in the Philippines what she is receiving from her retirement income in the US also? This will affect which way we become permanent residents? Love to hear from any Americans who have moved and which way they gained permanent residence status and which Visa they applied for? Thanks for all your help! Terry
