the thing thats delayed me the most is the 6 months of residency requirement in order to begin the immigrant visa process here at the costa rica embassy ... i didnt go the residency route because i was told naturalization would be easier/faster in the long run .. its been a year since i started that, found out yesterday that TSE has all my documents, and its in the final approval process .. however was also told that can take 6-7 more months *sigh*
thats only a requirement if you seek naturalization via residency etc. naturalization via marriage does not require that.

however i am now fluent in spanish and know enough about costa rica history/culture where a quick review would have me passing thier exam if i had to.
