The MTA case is civil and in all likelihood has no bearing whatsoever on your immigration case. None at all.

Your boyfriend's lawsuit has nothing to do with his ability to file for you. However, he must make enough income to file for your affidavit of support unless someone else will do it.

Generally speaking, there is no problem for a foreigner to marry a USA citizen who has an injury lawsuit pending.

The status of your boyfriend's lawsuit against the MTA should have no bearing on your immigration case as long as he makes sufficient income to sponsor for you.
