    Thanks sweeps ... very interesting.
    This is an issue I'm trying to keep my eye on.

    I know my situation is unique, but if anyone is in my shoes and has a non-citizen spouse, please take note that currently the "benefits for spouses" (such as spousal exemptions) do NOT apply to spouses who are not US citizens.
