You have to petition for him as a fiance and it will take 9-12 months fr him to get the visa to enter the us and then you will have 90 days to get married and then file for his green card on the basis of marriage.

You can file an I-129F petition to qualify him as your fiance. Once approved, he can then apply for a fiance visa at the US Embassy in DR.

Through filing a K-1 visa application package, a U.S. Citizen may apply for her fianc? to enter the U.S. to marry her within the required time. After the marriage, the couple may complete the steps for the husband to Adjust Status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). The application process can be more complicated than it looks, and it would be wise to engage an immigration attorney to help assure that the applications are completed, with all necessary supporting documents, to help avoid delays and even risks of denial.

You can do a fiance visa but that takes 6 to 9 months. Easiest way is if he gets a tourist visa and visits. Then you propose and marry while in the US.
