The short answers to your questions are: Yes, you can marry your boyfriend. Not easy to get legal residency in these circumstances. But I would have to know more about the visas when he came into the USA, and other things. But it starts with a petition for I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. If you want to explore it further, just call or e-mail to set up a consultation.

You can certainly marry your boyfriend the U.S. Family law is State law. So long as a social security number is not required in the State, there is no law against it. Since you boyfriend entered the country legally (with a valid visa) he may be out of status but still has status to adjust to immigrant status. You will need to do a I-130 Family petition, and I-485 request for an adjustment of status.

Yes, you will still be able to get married. Immigration has nothing to do with marriage.
