    Default Where And When To Marry

    My fiancée is a Mexican national, living in the state of Chihuahua. We have known each other for 30 years since she was a high school exchange student hosted by my family. She currently has a “USA B1/B2 VISA/BCC” and travels in and out of the US often as she has family in El Paso. She manages a distribution warehouse that is part of a successful family business.

    I am a many generation American citizen and currently live on the east coast, but that is open to discussion as I am retired and after my daughter graduates from High School I have no obligations to any particular place. I'd quite frankly be happy to live in Mexico.

    At this point we do not know either where we will live or where we will get married. US citizenship is definately an issue (more my concern than hers) and we hope to do this in a manner which is the most efficient path for her to citizenship. Employment up here is not necessary as I can support her without her having to work.

    I am terribly confused about whether to marry in the USA or Mexico, and how long it would be before she could cross the border. I've read that once a spouse/fiance visa is applied for the foreign national can not cross borders on her current visa; I've also read the oppposite. We may just decide at the spur of the moment (paperwork done in advance of course), in either country, to go get a sunrise marriage somewhere, but don't want jeopordize doing anything the USCIS would view as fradulant.

    What to do?!!?!
