Can a Green Card holder get married while he's living overseas ?

Hello

I have Permanent Resident Status in USA (L.P.R) I have 2 years having this status but now I want to get married.My fiance is overseas and I'll apply with INS to bring her in USA.Usually is going to take 4-5 years until her immigration visa will be available.

My question is:

Can I live with her overseas until the visa will be available and after that we will travel together in USA.So living together and waiting together until the visa will be approved.Is this allowed by USA laws ?

Are these two cases related together or it doesn't matter where does the husband live.

Could you please give me some advices?

Note.

I'll be living outside USA and working for a USA company.Which it means I'll pay my taxes I'll use my USA banks (Credit Cards)/My salary will be deposit directly to my USA checking account from the company that I'll work with. I'll keep a USA home address while I'll be overseas. I'm going to leave the USA, always having a re-entry Permit with me and I'll come back in USA before this Permit will expire.(In one year or 1 and half years )These actions are made to keep my Permanent Status active.

First the easy answer, you can marry wherever you want to.

Whether your plans will allow you to retain your PR status is another issue. I believe there is a dispensation if you work for a US multinational so it 'might' work. I would suggest you pass it through your Company lawyers, hopefully they have access to an Immigration lawyer who knows his onions on maintaining PR status, a complicated and indvidual situation.

And then there is the issue of whether you can prolong your PR status for as long as it takes her application to become current, that might be a big ask. That will be a big ask. Will you maintain a US Property? Or are you talking of a forwarding address?
