Generally, if a person overstays their admission period for 180-364 days, they are barred from re-entering the U.S. for 3 years. An overstay of 365 days or more bars them for 10 years.

He should have an experienced immigration attorney review the facts of his case, to see if he is even eligible for admission to the United States at this point.
