I am Mauritian national currently residing in UK on a post study work visa which will expire in Feb 2014. My fiancé is a resident of the USA and we
will be getting married at the Registrar office in the UK in July 2013 and the religious ceremony will take place in March 2014 in India.
After getting the civil marriage done in July 2013, my fiancé will then file my green card application.
I have no intention of furthering my stay in the UK after my current visa expires and I am planning to go back to Mauritius in February 2014 to finalise the
religious ceremony arrangments
My concerns are:
1. Will it be an issue if my fiancé files for my green card application while I am still in the UK (after the civil marriage in July2013) and
what will happen if we do not get an answer before I go back to Mauritius?
2. In the the event I do not get the green card before going back to Mauritius, will I have to travel to the US to complete the application?
3. If I get the green card before february 2014, Will I need to travel to US first, before going to Mauritius?
I would be very grateful if anyone could advise me on the matter.
