How can I bring my husband here to the United States?

I married my ex-boyfriend three months after his divorce from his previous marriage was granted. And as a naturalized US citizen, I intend to file a petition for him to join me here in the US. Our marriage is in good faith and can even provide proof with a property we started building together 6 years ago before the relationship ended and he married someone else for 4 years which gave him residence in England. We have wedding pictures, the lease of the property, phone records. Will that be enough to convince the consular officer our marriage is genuine? He is a Pastor in England and was once refused a B2 visa on the basis of 214 (b)- No strong ties in home country. How can we increase our chances for him to join me in the US? Moreover, should he inform the UK border agency about his divorce before I can file a petition since he holds residence in England as a spouse of an EU national?
