Hi my bf is from Sonora Mexico and is currently visiting in California. He entered US with a tourist visa B1B2. His visa is good for 10 years. His permit will expire on July 2018. I am a US natural born citizen. We want to get married. Our question is does he have to leave the US and then should I file for the K1 fiancé visa or could I file for a K1 visa now that he's here in the US. Also  we want to get married here in the US now. Please help and let us know what the process is. We are hoping he doesn't have to exit the US and that we can do everything here.,

You can file for your K1 just fine, but he will have to go back to his country and wait for the K1 to be approved.

If you get married, wait more than 90 days after his entry in the country. Even if your bf entered the country without the intention of getting married, USCIS can claim differently if the marriage happens in the first 90 days of his stay in the US.

 

I believe it wasn't planned, but is better to be sure and be eye to eye with the way USCIS see things.
