My boyfriend lives in Bahrain but he is from Nigeria. He wants to come to the United States so that we can get married next year. We met online. I have read that you have to have at least seen this person at least once in the past two years. Just trying to find out what might be our best option.

If he's in the US and has entered lawfully, then he can adjust status. This would only be possible if he entered with the purpose to visit and then later changed his mind and decided to get married and remain permanently. If he is overseas, then you can sponsor him for a Fiance visa after both of you physically meet. This process takes up to two years.
