As a US citizen, you have two viable options recognized in law – you can file for him as a fiancé under a K-1 visa, or you can marry and then file directly for his residence status. The first is done on form I-129F petition for alien fiancé and the second through form I-130 petition for alien relative. The fiancé route is normally approximately 9 months and the residence route approximately one year.
