Marriage with an F1 Visa Holder

I am a green card holder who is planning on applying for US Citizenship next year. I have plans to marry an F1 student this fall. These are my questions and any information is appreciated.

1) If we get married in US, would my F1 spouse be able to continue her school? If she needs an I-20 extension, would she have any difficulty because of her marriage to a perm. resident.
ie. Her last name will be different after the marriage. She will loose her non-immigrant status since she will be married to an immigrant etc


2) When I apply for US Citizenship, would this marriage cause a problem? Can they deny my USC application based on my marriage to a non-immigrant visa holder? N-400 application form specifically asks questions about your spouse and her legal status.


3) Should we get married in US? If we get married back in my country, would that cause a problem for my USC application and her green card or K3 application following my USC approval.

Thank you very much for your time
 
1. she will be able to continue schooling with an F-1. there is no issues. she will not lose her non-immigrant status. she might get some questons, but that is all.
2.it will have no impact on your USC application.
3.it is better to get married in the US because of the ease of getting marrigae documents and translations.
