Abstract: The two research questions of the dissertation include the following: What are the characteristics of spouses in transnational EE-U.S. couples that can distinguish them from spouses in intranational U.S.-U.S. couples? (Research Question 1); Are EE wives in transnational interethnic couples exposed to more areas of potential vulnerabilities compared to EE wives who are intraethnic EE-EE immigrant couples? (Research Question 2). To answer these questions a 1% representative sample from 2008-2010 American Community Survey was used
