Background: my fiancee has received news that his
immigration papers are already on their way. he was
petitioned by his dad (who has an immigrant visa) years
before, his status applied was "single". because of this,
our wedding plans are put off because his dad said it would
complicate his citizenship.

We would like to ask how long should he stay single? When
will he be able to come back to the Philippines to marry?
He has read somewhere that within the 5 year required stay,
he can go visit outside the US for a minimum duration. Is
that accurate? also will he be able to marry me during one
of those visits here in the Philippines, or would that
complicate his status?

And is it also possible for him to petition me as a fiancee
visa after his first year of entry in the US and then marry
me there in the US?

We are very much ready to marry, but this citizenship issue
is hindering us to do so. but yet we agreed for him not to
give up his citizenship because his dad had singlehandedly
worked for the said petition. What would be the best option
in this case?
