My fiance ( american) and I (canadian) have already filed for the Fiance Visa. He is stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas and I am in the country visiting him on a tourist visa. Since we plan on getting married ASAP, it would be much more financially beneficial for us to be married already. We were wondering if it would be possible to get married outside of our home countries and come back to the USA. Then continue on with proper procedures to eventually get my greencard.

It would be beneficial if you filled out your timeline so we could see where you are in the process.

If you marry BEFORE you enter on the K1 fiance VISA, you are no longer eligible for it. In that case a different VISA must be used, the K3 VISA. The K3 usually takes longer than the K1.

If you have already started the K1 process, I'd stick to it.

Getting married while K-1 is being processed will void the K-1 process, and you will be starting all over again, this time by filing an I-130 for a spousal visa, and perhaps another I-129F for get a K-3 visa started.

Note, adjusting status from another visa type would be hazardous due to your K-1 visa filing, you have already established immigrant intent with that filing.

If you are talking about financial benefits, I would say stick to the K1. Getting married while it is in process means that you will have to reapply for another visa and gather all the documents over again.

Just stick with the K1 since you already filed it.
