You apply individually.

Let me try to help..... First I think you are saying.... 

1) You are India and your fiancee is the US citizen.

 2) You and your Fiancee are not yet married

3) You would like to know if you had a tourist visa and then got married could you use the tourist visa to go with him to the USA

If these are not your questions or circumstances please clarify.

Here are the answers:  

1)  You apply for a tourist visa yourself.   Your fiancee does not and can not apply for you or on your behalf.  You will pay the fee $160 USD and then the officer will decide if you are eligible to receive that visa or not..  The decision is on rather you can prove that you have reasons to return to your county after your visit to the USA.  Being engaged to a US Citizen makes that much more difficult to prove and unless you have very significant reasons to return to India you will probably not be issued a tourist visa.

2) If your fiancee wants you to come to the USA and you do not get the tourist visa then he must apply for either a fiancee visa (K-1) or marry you and apply for a spousal visa (CR-1).  The fiancee visa is faster to get to the USA whereas the spousal visa takes longer (about 3 to 6 months longer) but is cheaper and allows you to work and travel as soon as you enter the USA whereas the Fiancee visa requires a waiting period before you can leave the USA or work in the USA

3) If you were given a tourist visa and then you got married in India or outside the USA you would be allowed to use the Tourist visa to apply at the port of entry in the USA for entry to the USA.   Rather you were admitted to the USA or turned back at the border would depend on the immigration office at the POE and rather he or she believed that you would leave after your visit time.    In other words you should bring some evidence that you do not intend to remain in the USA.  It is likely that you would be admitted but not a guarantee...
