Legal Question in Immigration Law in Georgia

I am a Greencard holder of 10 years in the US. I'm Canadian. I'm applying for my US Citizenship. I have a fiance that lives in Turkey and I am visiting next month.

My question is: Is it best to wait to marry with the proper citizenship completed and apply via fiance visa. Or is it better to marry while I am in Turkey and then apply to have him join me in the US as my spouse after the citizenship documents are finalized?

Either way is okay. If you don't know your fiance that well, and it's mostly online/phone relationship, then it would be wise to wait to become a US citizen and file a Fiance visa petition.

If you are confident in your relationship and there are no any additional issues to consider, then you can marry right away abroad and file the I-130 when you are a US citizen
