Adjustment of status is the process by which an immigrant obtains a green card within the US. To do so, he/she must submit form I-485 to the USCIS together with the proper filing fee and documentation.
If he is sponsored by a US citizen spouse,parent or son or daughter, and he entered the US lawfully, he can adjust his status in the US. This is true even if he overstayed his lawful status.
If he is sponsor by an employer, and entered the US lawfully, he can adjust status in the US as long he did not overstay his visa or engage in unauthorized employment for more than 180 days since his latest admission into the US. See http://shusterman.com/newsletterusimmigrationmarch2012/#9
If he had a labor certification, I-130 or I-140 visa petition filed on his behalf (or on behalf of one of his parents while he was child) on or before April 30, 2001, he can pay a fine and adjust his status in the US under section 245(i). See http://shusterman.com/greencardsusing245i.html
