W have no kids together but we both want to be together and get married . He has no criminal record here in the United States or Mexico.

His boss filing for a work visa will likely not help. Your boyfriend is not admissible because he is likely subject to a bar to admission for unlawful presence and removal. A waiver of these bars would only be available for a nonimmigrant employment visa. The first step will be to either file a fiancé visa petition or marry and file an immigrant visa petition. Your boyfriend would not seek a waiver until after he has been interviewed by the consular official. The fiancé visa process is difficult as you will need two sets of waivers approved for him to eventually obtain his green card. This is a situation where you really need to consult an attorney. This is a complicated matter, which requires a more in depth discussion. You can read more about family immigration at http://myattorneyusa.com/family-immigration.
