More details to this question:
I'd like to ask, I have a friend with a B1/B2 multiple entry visa, was given 6 months to stay in US but due to some circumstance overstayed for 3 weeks, was not able to file for extension. He left this year of May, and was planning to return next year 2014 of May or June. Will he not have any problem with the port of entry during admission? Can he still be given 6 months to stay? Thank you very much.

Yes, 3 weeks overstay should not affect his ability to enter the US at a later date. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

If your friend overstayed, the CBP will likely question him about it, and absent a good reason for overstay, he might not be allowed to the US again. It is best, if your friend speaks to an attorney first.
