Petition for fiance visa, show documentation of your relationship, see what consulate will process for Syria, he would have to go there for an interview, when (and if he is permitted) to come here you will have 90 days to marry him, then petition for your spouse.

You can apply for a fiance visa once you go see him and come back.

If you are a U.S. citizen you may either go there and get married and then file a petition for him or file for a fiance petition and agree to get married within 90 days of his entry to the U.S. in either case it will take 6-10 months under current processing times.

As long as you are a U.S. citizen and have met your fiance in-person within the last 2 years and can establish a good faith intent to get married within 90 days of his arrival in the U.S., you can petition for your boyfriend to come to the U.S. on a K-1 fiance visa. The petition is filed on form I-129F.

You can not just petition for him as your boyfriend. You can only petition for him as a fiance if you can show a bona fide intent to marry or marry him first and then petition for him as your spouse.
