Even though your friend’s visa doesn’t expire until 2006, he has been out of status since February 2003. Without knowing the details of his situation, it’s impossible to speculate what his options may be to get back into status, but realistically speaking, his options are probably very limited.
If he hasn’t done so already, he should speak to an immigration attorney for a full assessment of his case. If he’d like to further discuss his case with me, please have him contact my office directly to arrange for a consultation.
One final point... if he now leaves the country, he won’t be able to return for 10 years.
