Brittany,
I'm having a hard time understanding the facts, which are even contradictory and make very little sense.
I know this must be hard for you, but can you focus and try to provide us a little better background?
Generally, if your "fiancee to be" had entered country legally (and did not do any crimes etc.) and maybe overstayed visa, he can adjust his status after marrying you. It will take some time and nerves and it is not guaranteed, but it is far from impossible.

He came to America with his parents whom had a work permit and they owned their own business. When they lost that job due to the income being to low they started a new job and Im not even sure if they are even working legally here, because their status hasnt changed...(
Did his parents have a green card? Or some other visa? How come that they lost their status (if at all)?
If his parents were legally here for a long time and had their green card (I guess same thing goes for your "fiancee to be"), they could already get their citizenship.
Do not know, but it sounds more like they were illegally to begin with. But, please shed some light here.

and he doesnt have his drivers licence due to waiting to long. Now its to late. (
This does not make any sense. You can get driver's licence in most states like in 2-3 hrs or even less time for a marginal fee. What he was waiting for?
Was he ever entitled a right to have driver's licence to begin with? In most states, you can get driver's licence only if you are legal immigrant.

And their visa has expired... (
What type of visa? Tourist? Did he entered country legally the first time?
You are changing your opinion on this. Please focus and tell us the facts.

.. But even so, Im so scared of our lifes and what will happen. We love each other so much and I dont know what to do. We get into fights alot lately because Im so stressed out with it. (
Don't be scared. People who love each other and who are people of good intentions and who do things in good faith will prevail in the end.
Brittany said:
And I dont mean to hurt him by me being confused, but I think I do, and I dont have anyone else to turn to... (
You are big time confused. Take a deep breath and think straigth. There are lot of ppl here who can help with a good advice.
Even if you need to engage lawyer...that is not a big deal.

How can we assure ourself peaceful lives? How can we fix everything that we are worried about? Please... Help me... anyone...
Here is your 5 point plan (immigration-wise):
1) Provide us with more clear, non-confusing and straightforward facts
2) Some ppl here will be able to give you some advice
3) Make a determination if you can handle case on your own or you need a lawyer
4) Stop being inactive - this does not bring anything to do the table except the frustrations.
5) Take an action and make a decision.
- plan out steps you need to take to adjust his status
- go visit lawyer (if you need)
- maybe even move wedding sooner?
- prepare documents etc.
But, I suspect there is much more important question that is bothering you: if he is the right one? Well, you will have to figure that out for yourself.
In my part of the world, folks tend to say: "When you going through good times you tend to have 1,000 so-called friends, but when you are in the times of trouble you tend to be left with only a real friends".
I belive that challenge can strengthen your relationship only if it is true and sincere. Nothing to be scared of....
Take care... Keep your head up.
P.S.: I'm not a lawyer. I'm not an immigration expert. I'm just an ordinary guy and your are soley responsible for your actions.
