He can claim common law marriage, but it does not grant him citizenship.
Added: If the parties are found to be common law married, they are entitled to the same rights and benefits as they would be if they were ceremonially married, and then there would be a division of assets at a divorce.
Additional Info: Currently, only nine states, and the DIstrict of Columbia (Alabama, Colorado, Kansas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma and Texas) recognize common-law marriages. In addition to satisfying the legal requirements of the US Immigration law the parties would have claim to be legal residents of one of these ten jurisdictions.
