He needs to naturalize and become a US citizen to fast track the process for your green card in the U.S. How long has he had his green card?

If your boyfriend/future husband doesn't become a US citizen, it may take up to 4 years for you to be able to immigrate to the US provided that you get married and file a petition.

You can either have him apply a K-1 visa or file an I-130 petition for you. A price quote will be provided after further inquiries regarding him and you are done.

After you marry, the priority date backlog for the FB-2A is January 2009. If he naturalizes, you would be an immediate relative.
