I am currently an Army Reservist and my Fiancé is active duty Army. Would I be considered a civilian spouse and he would be paid the married amount of BAH according to his rank? Or would we be considered dual military and get separate BAH pay as single?

Just for being in the reserve you will receive no BAH unless you are activated and perform active duty then the highest rank person willl receive the BAH!

BAH is paid according by rank and duty station zip code. You will be considered a civilian spouse while not doing your Reserve commitments.
you are not married yet, so you have no entitlement until you are actually married. She would get BAH Single depending if commands authorizes it, or of course if there's children involved, then she would get BAH with dependents

Reservist only get BAH when on active duty more than 30 days. Unless the active member already gets BAH w/dependents, Then they would not get BAH.
