Hi,
I am from India and been in the UK for 4 years. I should be eligible to apply for ILR in Dec2020. My fiance is an US citizen. I would like to stay and continue working in the UK until I am eligible to go live in the US permanently.Would marrying an US citizen affect my application for ILR? Is it wise to postpone the wedding until I get ILR?

No effect on your ILR.

If you do not have a marriage visitor visa or family visa
You can still give notice of your intention to get married or form a civil partnership but the immigration authorities at the Home Office will be told.

The Home Office might:

ask questions about you and your relationship - if this happens you may need to wait up to 70 days before getting married or forming a civil partnership
decide not to approve your notice - if this happens you cannot get married or form a civil partnership in the UK

Thankyou for your reply. I just cannot remember where I read that it an be refused if spouse is an US citizen. I know it des not make any sense. Just want to be very sure before deciding anything.
