Visa status
Whether a person abroad is a citizen, permanent resident, work-visa holder or student — the first practical question in an NRI match.
Visa status decides where a couple can live and whether a spouse can work. A US H-1B spouse may or may not be able to work depending on the green card stage; a Canadian PR can sponsor a spouse; a UK Skilled Worker visa allows dependants; a student visa usually allows a spouse only in limited cases.
Families sometimes find it awkward to ask. They should ask anyway, early, because it is the one fact that reshapes everything else.
