You have provided limited information as to what visa your boyfriend's father holds. Since you mentioned that your boyfriend's father is being sponsored by his employer, I will assume he is here with either H-1, H-2 or H-3 visa. If this is so, then your boyfriend might be here under an H-4 visa as an unmarried son, below 21 years. If my assumption is true, then marrying your boyfriend, with H-4 visa classification will affect his status because he will no longer be and unmarried son. Remember, H-4 visas cover spouses and UNMARRIED children under 21 years old.
