Legal Question in Immigration Law in Arizona

I applied for a naturalization in January and am in the process of getting interviewed in April. My fiancee and I are planning to get married next month. She is from Mexico and is not a legal resident of the United States but can legally enter to the land of US with her visitor visa. Is it better to get married before I become a US citizen or to wait till I become a US citizen? Is there any impact in before and after I become a US citizen?

Thank you in advance

It is up to your and your fiancee when to get married: now or after your naturalization. If she has a visitor's visa and visits the USA legally, her future application for a Green Card should not present any major issues whether you are married now or later. If you marry prior to naturalization, but after submitting the N-400, you will need to disclose the fact of a marriage during the interview.
