"will" in a temporal subordinate clause (a clause beginning with "when", "before", "after", "until", etc.) is not English, so 1a and 1c are incorrect; the rest are fine.

Thank you CJ.

two more questions.

Could you, please, explain to me the difference between (if there is any)
a) What comes next after my leaving the country?
b) What will come next after my leaving the country?

Which one is correct?
1. I don't know how it will go.
