Why unhelpful? I have been asking around for that very thing. My niece and her German boyfriend were here for Xmas and I asked them to find out about citizenship for US citizens if the US guy married a German (not her boyfriend). I emphasized I would bring money into the country and have a steady income. I also asked my 2nd cousin who lives in Ecuador. It is consistently rated the best place to retire to, has a stable government, and I am sure there must be a guy that would like to marry an American citizen if he didn't have to come live here. Otherwise it might be nice to check out some other countries like India or Indonesia. Depends on your tastes I suppose and mine are pretty wide.
