More facts are necessary to determine how soon or If he will be able to fix his status.

There are ways to permanent residency but they depend on multiple factors i.e. how the alien entered the U.S., if the alien would trigger any bars or if the alien has triggered any bars already, or if he has any other grounds of inadmissibility etc.

You should consult an attorney who can discuss the facts in more depth and determine what strategy you should use.
