    They won't let you because it's a common scam.

    Have you met your fiancé face to face or just over the internet?

    He need the money for plane ticket plus PTA money as immigration will not let him enter the states without it as he is not US citizen yet

    How is he coming home if he isn't a resident? Why can't you just pay for the plane ticket online instead of sending him money? You don't have to send him money for him to be able to visit, as long as you provide information that you will support him while he is in the US. If you plan to marry him, just apply for a fiancé visa. You have to be the petitioner since you are the US citizen. Simply prove that you met within the last two years face to face, and that you intend to get married within 90 days of him entering the US, or he will face deportation. All of these are legal immigration channels and NONE of them require you to send him money.
