Can a convicted felon obtain a passport?
Yes you can, BUT...
If you were convicted of a federal or state drug felony, and used the passport to cross an international boundary or some other way to further the offense. This disqualification lasts while impriosned or while you are on probation/parole.
The passport office also checks your name against a list. Basically, if you have any outstanding warrants, or child support owed over 5,000, you will be on this list. Also, any law enforcement can request your name to be placed on this list if they do not want you to get a passport, eg likelihood to flee to avoid prosecution, etc.
Generally, just because you fgot convicted does not mean you cannot get a passport, except for the child support issue.
Not all persons convicted of a felony are ineligible for obtaining a US passport.

I've scoured the internet searching for an answer to this exact question. I'm not an expert, but it seems that a convicted felon CAN get a passport.
It seems that the passport is merely an international identification document much like a driver's license.
It used to be that a passport wasn't required for US citizens travelling to the Caribbeans (just a birth certificate and other identifying information), but that is changing with the issuance of passport cards.
A felons in general are able to obtain passports but the final authority is the US Government. Even after you obtain a passport or passcard you still have the problem of being allowed to enter other countries. Many will restrict felons from entering (Australia) and some restrict based on the crime(s) involved (Canada, Brittan/UK). Some require that you only stay for a certain length of time and/or register upon arrival.
Keep in mind, we are discussing US passports as I'm sure other countries have their own methods. One thing I do know is that it is difficult for felons to permanently re-locate to another country because nearly all countries require a background check of some sort. The nature of the crime, I'm sure, makes a HUGE difference is who gets accepted or not. I used to know a website that could explain all the relocation requirements for many countries, but I've since lost it. However, you can google up some answers for that subject with something like (your country) permanent residency.

There is nothing you can do for the sister- in fact, there is nothing your boyfriend can do for his sister either.
If you get married you can petition for his legal status, however since he is illegal, he would need to go to his country of origin for his interview and waiver hearing. You would need to file a I-601 waiver to waive his illegal entry into the U.S. and give him legal status. However, there is a high burden of proof on your part and simply by leaving the US, he would be subject to a 10 year entry bar if the 601 waiver is rejected. So its a gamble. Even if he does gain legal status, there is nothing he can do for his sister.
NOTE: i assumed "illegal" to mean illegal entry into the US. If he had legal entry, but his visa expired, then it WOULD be possible to make your husband legal without leaving the US- the sister would still be out of luck though.
