No. As a multiple violator he must be out of the US for 10 years before he can be admitted.

As as "recidivist" who illegally returned to the US after having been previously removed, your fiance must now wait abroad for 10 years before being able to apply for any immigration benefits. He is subject to the "lifetime inadmissibility bar" = needs to remain outside the country for 10 years.

I agree with the previous answers. He needs to wait outside the country for 10 years before he can be admitted, unless he is the victim of a qualifying crime that occurred in the U.S., he has suffered substantial physical or mental abuse as a result of having been a victim and he was helpful in the investigation. Please talk to an immigration attorney.
