Salam. Eid Mubarak!
ok, there is no marriage visa per se to Algeria
there is a visitor's visa/tourist and then when u get here u apply for marriage licence at the town hall then they do an investigation into you... you have to bring your birth cert, ur passport, a receipt from the registry/townhall that says you arent currently married in the US (easy to obtain and cheap). they take all of your details and make a file for you. after the investigation into u and ur dh to be, they grant you the licence, u make appoint for marriage at town hall and get a marriage book. u cant move around in algeria without that marriage book. u cant change ur status in the country or register the births of your children should Allah bless you with them either... its gold that book.
after the book, u again to authorities and apply for resident permit on basis of being wife of algerian as proven by the marriage book. you fill out paper work, provide pictures, provide copies of various things like good health and registration at american embasy that you are here in dz, then you get ur residency permit.
it could take up to one year of continuous follow up to get everything said and done, so prepare for the long haul:)
hope i was able to help inshallah

It will take a while depending on when you come. If it is during Ramadan or August (vacation month) alot of people don't work and things move slow. Many people have to return back to the states because their visa's expire in the time they are waiting. It isn't easy and you have to be prepared for frustration and aggravation and a lot of wrong information. Nothing is consistent here so you must check with the Wilaya where your man is from. Good luck.
