I am currently on an H1-B visa and am going through the Green Card process. I expect to complete this process in about a year. My fiancée is also here on a (non-immigration) TN-1 visa and I would like to avoid any delays in getting her the Family-Based Green Card (through marriage once we get married).
I am curious if there will be any difference on either of the Green Card timelines/processes between the two possible cases:
(a) get married in the near future before I get my Green card
(b) get married after I acquire my Green Card
Will getting married before I get my Green Card impact the timeline for me to get my actual one? Also, does it matter when we get married before I get my Green Card, as long as it's technically before (e.g. get married 6 months before I get the Green Card, versus 1 month before)? Any guidance is appreciated!
