Deportation record and greencard?
Answer:
Your friend did not respect the laws of the USA. He should go home no matter his "extraordinary abilities". I bet there are thousands of US citizens and legal residents that have such abilities.
Once you get on a banned list for USA, it is almost impossible to get them to reconsider
We are a nation of laws and if your friend can't respect those laws, maybe he should consider moving to france.
I believe there is a possibility for him to receive his green card, but it is a long process. From what I know about immigration, the US has caps on how many immigrants will be accepted from certain countries. Therefore if he applies now, then he could have to wait years, depending on the cap on his country. But more importantly, due to his previous immigration problems, he will definitely need to hire a lawyer to represent him at Immigration Services. If he does this, tell him that it is extremely important that he admit all of his past arrests, etc, whatever is on his record because part of the process is an FBI background check...and trust me, they will find out. One thing that is also important is the amount of time he has lived in the US. Even if he is undocumented, there are ways to slowly but surely get a greencard if he follows the right steps. Since I don't know much more specifics, I recommend you first look up immigration agencies in your city/town. There are agencies specifically made to assist undocumented immigrants attempting to get green cards. Call up different agencies and find out who will represent him. Some agencies charge as little as a 100 dollar fee total for legal representation, and then there is also the fees for FBI fingerprints/background checks as well as the thousand dollar fine for undocumented status...it will be costly...yet worth it.
