No.  Only US citizens can petition fiancees.  

 

Once married, it takes two years+ for the spouse of a green card holder to immigrate, as the number of visas for this category each year are limited by law.  Petition is filed and, once approved, there is still a wait for a visa number to be available.

As above. You need to get married first, then you can file for F2A visa for your spouse, which has approx 2 year wait time for the priority date to become current. If you beocme a citizen while you are waiting you can upgrade the petition.

 

Note this assumes that you didn’t become a LPR based on marriage in the last 5 years.
