If he enterred the US with a visa, he can apply for green card even he overstayed. However, if that is not the case, he needs 245 (i) protection.

We suggest you to consult with an immigration attorney.

Mr. Medina is correct, assuming there are no other issues which would otherwise disqualify him for different reasons, such as certain criminal convictions, and other issues of inadmissibility.

The above is general information not case specific and does not form an attorney client relationship.
