He may be able to apply for a waiver based on humanitarian concerns but will need an experienced attorney to assist him.

He will need to apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. Consulate with a waiver. The waiver will have to demonstrate that his U.S. Citizen/Lawful permanent resident spouse or parents will suffer extreme hardship if he does not return to the U.S. If his parents are U.S. Citizens/lawful permanent residents, he may be able to demonstrate this hardship. Waivers are very fact-specific cases. Your friend should speak to an immigration attorney to determine if he has a strong waiver case. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this matter further.
