I am on h1b visa currently in USA and I plan to marry my fiancé in december in India, who is a green card holder and also currently residing in US. I plan to start the first stage (labor) of my green card through my employer before immediately

1. If we plan to get married in india, will I have trouble entering US on my H1b visa (in other words will they consider me a prospective immigrant if I declare that I am married)?

2. If yes, should we then not register marraige in India, and do it after coming back to USA?

3. Is there another way to safeguard my re-entry to USA after my wedding and also future trips abroad?
 
Your H1B visa is independent of your marital status.
As long as it is a multiple entry visa (which I am sure it is!), you are good to marry in India and come back.

Whether you get your marriage registered in India or the US is your call.
If you are not going to be having any marriage ceremony, or do a court-marriage, in the US....then I'd advise you to get it registered in India.
