If you get married and file for him you may be able to have him apply for a Provisional Waiver under the new Provisional Waiver rules that went into effect on March 4th 2013. The determination as to whether or not your boyfriend (soon to be husband) will qualify for a Provisional Waiver depends upon a variety of factors. You will want to consult with a competent immigration lawyer who is familiar with the Provisional Waiver process.

Once someone adjusts status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident, prior nonimmigrant visas held by that person become terminated. If you intend to leave the United States for a substantial amount of time, depending upon all of the circumstances there may be steps you can take to preserve your Permanent Resident status despite the long absence. It would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney who, upon learning all of the relevant facts, will be able to advise you about maintaining Permanent Resident status and also about being able to apply anew for nonimmigrant visas in the event you do abandon your current status. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
