I probably wouldn't move there at the moment (elderly parents and child with a chronic progressive disease). But I would want to ensure I had that option, since it is currently available.

I think all of my ancestors have been in the US too long, but I did find one option that allows anyone citizenship as far back as1900s, so that opens up some possibilities for citizenship. My spouse might have even more options - her family came more recently.
