My fiance is from Kenya and has been in the states for 6 yrs. He has been here on student visa and we have decided to marry secretly in January. I believe I have to fill out the I-130 form after we get married. But we were wondering if anyone had advice for us. Also, does anyone know how long it will take after we are married for him to get his temporary green card, so he can find some work after he finishes school? Thanks yall

You need to do what's called "filing concurrently". That means you file all his forms at one time. The guide on this site will help you. In short, you want the I-130, the I-485, the I-765 (for work authorization) and maybe the I-131 (for traveling until he gets his greencard.)

If you don't make enough money to sponsor him, you'll need to find a joint sponsor.
