Because he is not a CITIZEN.
A "green card" is not something that allows you to pass "GO" and entry into the United States. It only gives HIM the right to be in this country for a set reason and time. After a number of years, he then has to pass a test and become an American citizen before he could even think of attempting to get you a visa as his "fiancee".

Petitions for a fiance (K-1 visa) and a spouse (K-3 visa) are only able to be filed by a US Citizen. Both these visas are non-immigrant visas.
However, if you are married, he can file the I-130 petition as a permanent resident. This petition leads to an Immigrant Visa, but there is a long wait for a visa number to become available with your US spouse being a permanent resident. You will however have a jump start on the process as the petition can be upgraded to that of a USC once your husband gains citizenship.

If you are thinking of coming to the USA on a fiancee visa, that requires the petitioner to be a US citizen. It is not enough just to hold a Green Card. By definition, a Green Card holder is not a citizen.

Only citizens can file fiancee petitions, not green card holders.

Because it's not allowed by law. If you were married he could petition you, but the wait for a visa is over 5 years.

S.. you may ought to pay $a million,010 for the adjustment of status, plus any more beneficial expenditures that are required. to respond to the question on the Affidavit of help, that's a record the sponsor ought to finished to practice that they are able to help the immigrant financially. The sponsor should be earning more beneficial than one hundred twenty 5% of the poverty aspect for the relatives length, yet when their earnings/resources are inadequate, they could use a co-sponsor.
