1. Is he in the US now?  

2. If he is in the US, is he here in legal status (F1 visa, B1/B2, work visa)?

3.  If he is in the US in legal status, has he abided by the terms of the visa?  For example, if he is here on B2, then he did not work and has not worked?

 

If he is in the US, and all 3 questions are "Yes", then you can marry him and Adjust status.  First, get married.  Second, fill out and submit I-130 (spouse visa, F2A) and I-485 (Adjust status).  

 

 

If he is not in the US, then you can get married anywhere that is convenient for the two of you.  Then you would apply for an F2A visa by submitting I-130.  It is similar to CR1, but a diiferent category.  Your spouse will wait in Algeria to complete the process.   Your spouse can visit you (if he has a valid visa) or you can visit him during this process.  You can follow the following guide, even though it says CR1/IR1:

How many years have you've been a Green Card holder? Based on which eligibility category did you get your Green Card?

Depends on the answer to my 2 questions above. If eligible he would be F2A preference category.

Either Algeria, US, or other country. Is he in the US right now? If not (and you want to marry inside the US), he'll need a tourist visa and then after you marry in the US he leaves the US to wait for the Immigrant Visa process: https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-faqs/

We are traveling to the United States to marry and will return to the United Kingdom after marriage. Do I still need a fiancé(e) visa?

If you will return to your permanent residence you may apply for a tourist B-2 visa, or if eligible, travel visa free under the Visa Waiver Program.  At the time you apply for the visa and/or travel to the United States you will be required to show that you have a residence outside the United States that you do not intend to abandon. There is no set form that this evidence takes as it varies with each person’s circumstances.

The process varies depending on what status he currently has in the US (if any) and where he currently is.

Will be 14 years (once renewed) Category is E16

Either Algeria, US, or other country. Is he in the US right now? He is in Algeria now. and I think he has 2 year B visa (not sure 1 or 2 )

If not, he'll need a tourist visa and then after you marry in the US he leaves the US to wait for the Immigrant Visa process: https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visa-faqs/

That guide isn't 100% accurate in your case since your case would be F2A, but it's close. For example after you marry, you submit Form I-130 including the I-130A supplement (which contains his info). You have the option of submitting it online: https://www.uscis.gov/i-130

Where do you prefer to marry? Also verify if he either has a B-2 or a B-1/B-2:

If it's only B-1, then he cannot use it since the purpose of visit is not Business:

Good. After you marry he'll be eligible for F2A category.

If he has a B visa and can travel to the USA, you can marry here.  However, he would need to abide by the entry granted at POE, and return to Algeria during the visa processing.

I assume you have already met in person? Algeria has a pretty high bar in terms of demonstrating that the relationship is bona fide. Although there is no rule as to how many visits you should have prior to the interview, for Algeria the more, the better.

I was wondering my green card going to expired in 2025.

How do you you think if marry in 2022 and apply his green card...maybe took over 2year?  while process his green card if I renew a green card, Is that going to trouble?

 

or should I renew now 2021 before marry if makes easy...

 

if you have a idea please let me know.

It's 6 months so don't file too early: https://www.uscis.gov/i-90 "Reason for Application F) My card will expire within six months or has already expired."

It's not an issue. The expiration date on your card is only about the card, not your status. Your LPR status still continues after that date.

 

Also the I-90 receipt notice together with the expired card serves as a 1 year extension for the card's expiration date: https://www.uscis.gov/i-90 "Beginning in January 2021, if you are applying to renew your Green Card, your Form I-90 receipt notice (also known as Form I-797) will say the following and can be used with your expired Green Card as evidence of your lawful permanent resident status: "This notice provides evidence of your lawful permanent resident status for 12 months from the expiration date on your Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card (also known as a Green Card). You remain authorized to work and travel. This notice, presented with your expired Permanent Resident Card, is evidence of your status and work authorization.""
