In practical terms, the wife could try taking the husband's name off the petition but will not be able to do it without seriously hampering her own case. However, if she files for divorce, the husband will not be able to adjust status because his status as a beneficiary of the petition filed by his wife's employer is derived through this marriage.

Although you did not provide these details, I presume that you are a U.S. Citizen and that your boyfriend entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection, but then overstayed his visa. Generally, a couple can marry at any age that is lawful in the jurisdiction (such as the State of Georgia) in which they live, and the USCIS will recognize the validity of that marriage. Upon marriage to a U.S. citizen, the couple can petition for the foreign national spouse to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card"). After the foreign national spouse has been a Permanent Resident for three years, he may file an application to become a naturalized U.S. citizen. If the foreign national spouse did not enter the U.S. lawfully and with inspection, then many other details will need to be examined to determine eligibility - in addition to the other issues that relate to anyone who wishes to apply to adjust status to become a Permanent Resident. There is no substitute for engaging an attorney to carefully review all the relevant facts and circumstances in order to be able to provide advice about eligibilities, options and strategies.
