nameserver

Does it matter where I register my domain geographically when I'm planning to change nameset (nameservers) to a server in my target area?

Example

Target audience: USA
Server location: USA
Domain origin: bought from French registrator website

Question: When a user in the U.S. tries to access my web, will there be a delay, because he had to access the French registrator servers first or will he go directly to my U.S. server?
