I want to move in with my boyfriend but he doesn't have papers, he has a job and we found an apartment already but I don't have a job. Would the apartment be under my name? Or what should we do?

You do not need to go into the details of your boyfriend's immigration status with your landlord. The landlord will want to know you and he are creditworthy and will pay the rent. See what the landlord requires and go from there. You may need to have a co-sponsor. (I had to co-sign for my kids' first apartments until they had a long enough work history.)

If you would like to sponsor your boyfriend to become legal in the US, and you are a US citizen, it is not possible until you are married. Further, there are many other requirements in obtaining US residency in addition to your citizenship alone, such as criminal history, immigration history.
