I cannot speak to UK requirements.

However, if you are looking for the simplest method of acquiring US residency: If you marry in the UK, it is not likely that you will be able to use your tourist visa again, as you will not be able to establish temporary intent. It is a discretionary decision, but it is also unlikely that you could enter on the tourist visa as his fiancee.

If you marry in the UK, and he does not have a residence in the US to return to, you will hamper your application, as in order to acquire US permanent residence, you have to establish your intent to reside permanently in the US and you will need a residence.

Whatever route you choose, you will need to remain in the US until your residency is approvedf (or you have advance parole approved), or it will be considered abandoned.

You need to retain an attorney to process your documents in a way most beneficial to your situation.

You can use your Visitor's visa while unmarried and visiting the USA for a short period of time. If you marry in UK and then intend to move to US to stay with your husband while he finishes his studies, there is a danger that you may not be admitted to the US (denied admission at the airport). The reason for this is that you can be considered as having an immigrant intent which is incompatible with a Visitor's visa.

If you marry in UK and plan to move to USA shortly after that, you have to plan to apply for a spousal or immigrant visa before you move to USA.

If you marry in USA, you may be able to apply for a permanent residency through a process known as "adjustment of status" without having to leave the country.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or would like to schedule a consultation.
