Hello everyone. I am currently a LPR living in the US. My fiancé is overseas and can enter the US as a tourist via ESTA. We are planning to get married during my fiancé's next trip to the US in a few months. Once she returns back to her home country, I am planning to file Form I-130 as a LPR. Then once I have demonstrated continuous residence for 5 years (about 14 months from now), as long as the Form I-130 is still pending (I suspect it will be), I will file Form N-400 to get naturalized myself. I am wondering the following:
Would my N-400 be jeopardized by the fact that I would already be married to a foreigner?
If the N-400 is approved before the I-130, what steps would I need to take (if any) to ensure that the I-130 is processed as an immediate relative of a US citizen rather than as F2A?
Am I correct in understanding that my fiancé would follow the consular processing route, being that she is outside the US, and therefore Form I-485 is not needed?
Is there any advantage to getting legally married inside versus outside the US?
Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks
