Fiancee has criminal record. Any chance of visa to USA?

• Hello,
  
  My name is Emma and I am a US Citizen, currently living in the UK with my fiancee. My fiancee is a British National and has just been charged with fraud, in which he stole 125,000 pounds from his former company. The offense actually took place before we met, years ago and has just been discovered by the company. My fiancee will likely go to prison for one or two years in the UK. After he finishes his sentence, we wish to move to the USA to be married.
  
  1.) Can I even apply for a fiancee visa for him to live in the USA if he has this criminal offense on his record?
  
  2.) Is it easier to go ahead and marry in the UK and apply for his marriage visa in the USA later?
  
  Thank you for your help!
