Btw i assume you're asking in refference to his case and not just in general?

If its in the general sense, then you need to be married for at least 5 years under, i think its the K-1/K-2 Spousal Visa. That's if you come over and get married here and then apply, if you're already married before, then its 10 years.

Also its consecutive years of residency without interruption.

Its very complicated if there are further mitigating factors but i'll try answer if you have any questions.
