marry now petition later
My bf (who is a permanent resident) and I (on an H1B visa) really want to get married.But we know it could take longer for him to petition me for residency since he's not a US citizen yet. Can we get married now and just have him petition me later after he gets his citizenship? Is that possible and faster?

You may get married now, have him petition for you, then upgrade your petition once he becomes a U.S. citizen.
The preferred time frame depends upon when he's eligible for naturalization.
