The spouse of a permanent resident is a FB-2A preference, with a priority date backlog of about 4 years. When you are naturalized, the case can be upgraded and he can apply for either the K-3 or the immigrant visa at his home consulate.

You can file a petition on his behalf but since you are a resident right now he will be on a waiting list for a visa to become available. Once you become a US citizen there will be a visa available for him immediately and he will eligible for consular processing. Make sure he does not come here illegally because that will give you many problems and will prevent him from getting a legal status in the US.
