Re: immigration
If your boyfriend arrived in the US illegally (without inspection), then marrying him will not save him. On the other hand, if he originally arrived in the US legally, but simply let his visa expire, then you should marry him quickly and apply for his green card... this would save him from deportation.
Re: immigration
A lot depends on whether your fiance entered the country with or without inspection. If he did enter without inspection, he may still be eligible to adjust if he qualifies for 245(i), which would require a petition or Labor Certification to be filed on his behalf prior to 4/30/2001.
