You are living in Dammam, find information to do Nikah in Bahrain.

People here on visit or Umrah visa cannot get married here in Shariah courts.

As for US Consulate, if both of you were non-Muslims, you could.  As long as the groom is Muslim, the marriage has to take place in a Shariah court for it to be valid.

Sudan, USA, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Mauritius, Maldives.... (start googling)

Us embassy does not perform any marriages.

Your options are limited. You should decide where you would like to eventually live with your future husband and marry accordingly. You can go to Sudan to marry him, which you've already stated is difficult for you. He could bring you to the USA on a fiance visa and marry you there. He cannot come here on a hajj/umrah visa for anything other than hajj/umrah, and since it would be difficult for him to go through the process of finding a job and relocating to Saudi legitimately and then marrying you, getting married in Saudi isn't an ideal option for you at this time anyhow. Best of luck to you!
