More details to this question:
I was a legal resident and became a citizen because I heard it makes the process faster. We have only been married for a 4 months. We don’t have any children. I am currently going to school. He entered the US illegally at 13 but didn’t graduate. He is now 20.
2 ANSWERS
He is not eligible to legalize his status within the US and if he leaves the US to obtain a visa he will be barred for 10 years. Just hold off on filing until the laws may change. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

If he entered on a visa and overstayed or is subject to 245(i), then he will not have to leave. If he did not have either of these, then he may have to leave after getting a provisional waiver approved. You should consult with an attorney to know for sure as this is a very complex determination.
