Lithuania: Considering move from Chicago to LT:

My Lithuanian wife and I are moving from Massachusetts to Vilnius on August 1 (2010). We were married in Vilnius in 2004 and my wife immigrated to the US in Oct 2005, where we have lived ever since. Now we are going to live in LT. We have a flat there, she has a job waiting for her, and I can create income via the internet. My burning questions are: 1. I will seek to get a 5 year residency permit once we have arrived. My understanding is that I can live in LT for up to 90 days without official documentation, but it can take much longer than 90 days to get the permit. Will immigration let me stay beyond 90 days pending approval of my residency permit??? 2. If I arrive in Vilnius without a "return ticket" for travel out of LT within the 90 day window (in other words, arriving on a one-way ticket), will they let me in in the first place? 3. How can I hook up with other Americans in Vilnius? 4. We checked with the INS regarding my wife's Green Card status and living outside of the US, and since we will be returning to the US for regular visits at least annually, there should be no problem keeping the Green Card valid. I would appreciate you advice, remarks or experiences that would help me make this transition as smooth as possible. George
