USA citizen in love with a Moroccan man

Hello <img src="[www.africaguide.com]]
About a year ago I started talking to a wonderful man from Morocco. During that time we fell in love. I just recently went to Morocco so we could "meet" in person and see if we still had the same feeling for each other. My trip to Morocco was perfect, he was perfect and his family was perfect. I now know this is the man I want to spend the rest of my life with. But I am unsure of what steps to take next. He does not have a Visa. I have found some information online about Fiance Visa's. But then I have read a lot of the comments about couples getting married in Morocco. For now we would like to live in the USA, but eventually have a house in both countries. Most of the comments are for/from UK citizens. Is the process different for a USA citizen? If I do go to Morocco and marry him will we both be able to come back to the USA to live? Or do we have to be married in the USA? Or should he apply for a finace Visa and come to the USA first? What steps do we need to take for a finace visa? We are both in our 30's and neither one of us have been married before. I have been searching the internet and have not been able to find any good sites or answers to my questions. Any advice, comments or links to sites anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Immigrant Visas
Fiancé Visas

To establish eligibility for an alien fiancé visa, a US citizen must file Form I-129F, Petition for an Alien Fiancé, with the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Service Center having jurisdiction over the place of the petitioner's residence in the United States. Such petitions may not be adjudicated outside of the United States. The approved petition will be forwarded by the Department of Homeland Security's United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) to the US Consulate-General in Casablanca, where the fiancé will apply for his or her visa.

The Consular Section will mail each applicant an appointment letter with an interview date and instructions for the visa application. Petitioners and applicants should note that a petition is valid for a period of four months from the date of USCIS action but may be revalidated by the consular officer.

If you wish to withdraw the petition before a K-1 visa is actually issued, you should make a written request to the U.S. Consulate General and USCIS.

Once the visa is issued, your fiancé must enter the U.S. within six months. After entering the U.S., you and your fiancé must marry within three months and report the marriage to the nearest CIS office in order to obtain permanent/conditional resident status for your new spouse.

If you decide not to marry, your fiancé must depart the U.S. within the three-month period.
