He overstayed his visa by 3 months then he is unlawfully present in the US. Once he is unlawfully present by 180 days, once he leaves the US he will be barred from reentry for 3 years; if he is unlawfully present for 365 days and leaves, he will be barred from reentry for 10 years.

I do not understand the second part of your question however, overstaying a visa can be a deportable offense if he is still present in the U.S. An overstay can be grounds to deny entry to the U.S. as well.

He is out of status and can be deportable. If he enters with K visa, he is out of luck for staying in this country unless he applies for asylum.

Your son overstaying his visa causes him to be in unlawful presence in the U.S. Depending on his visa type, he may or may not be excused for the unlawful presence should he marry a US citizen. I recommend that he consult with an immigration attorney as soon as possible to understand his rights and obligations under the US immigration laws.
