It is an "ifie" situation...because if you read the Law, certain aliens can never become legal...just read it on the INS's website...it has been a while since I read it, but I believe people who have been here illegally for a amount of time can not become legal...as well as deportees or someone with a felony... you best bet is to read the site...that is what I did...
first, before you listen to anyone here, it's always best to talk to a lawyer.
from what i know, what you've heard may be true. but if your boyfriend was brought here while underage, especially a young child, i think there may be exceptions for him. i don't know for sure, and you should speak with a lawyer who specializes in immigration law.
If he entered the country legally even though he has overstayed you can apply for a I-130 for him after you get married. If he did not enter the country lawfully and "jumped the border" than he's going to have to leave the country and come back...It doesn't have to be Mexico it could be his original home country or Canada.
If he hasn't come in legally to begin with, I understand there will be a ten year ban. You need to speak to an immigration attorney.
