my fiancés passport expires in 2021. he will not be arriving to the us until 2020. should we get it renewed before he comes to us in case he cannot travel home to renew it before it expires ?

Would be the most advisable unless the passport is easily renewed outside the home country

Up to you.

 

If he does it in the K1 process he can have the DS-160 changed to the new passport.

 

If he waits until he gets to the US it is ok because he can not travel for 4  to 8 months after AOS if requesting AP.

I would advice you to do so because he would have to renew it in the USA

Check with the DR consulate. Many countries make it easy for their citizens in the US by doing fast renewals at local consulates.
