The question in my mind from what you state is how did he re-enter the U.S. most recently? If it was EWI (without inspection), sadly, there is nothing that can be done. There is a statute that prevents a person from obtaining immigration benefits if he re-entered the United States without inspection after having been removed. The law prevents obtaining any benefits 10 years from the date he leaves and stays outside of the United States.
