It really does not make any difference where you get married because a valid marriage is a valid marriage anywhere in the world and is recognized as such.

Not sure what you are asking but if you marry him in the US, then he can apply for his green card. The entire process takes between 3 and 4 months from start to finish. Just make sure to consult with an attorney before getting married.

It is very important to carefully consider where you are going to get married and when. Where you marry can greatly effect the immigration process including whether you apply for adjustment of status in the U.S. or whether you spouse applies for an immigrant visa abroad. You should discuss the specifics with a qualified immigration attorney who an advise you.

Yes. If you live in the U.S., I think you should get married in the U.S.
