The B1/B2 visa in the passport is probably a 10 year visa. At each and every entry, he is issued an I-94 which is stamped and has an expiration date usually 6 months after entry (check for addmission stamps in passport also). That is what they want.
In terms of seeking adjustment from nonimmigrant to immigrant, in general, the applicant has to have made a lawful entry into the U.S. as evidenced by I-94 or passport stamp.
For the Immediate Relative (IR) of a USC, they can fall out of status and still file for adjustment (I-485).
For the spouse or child of an LPR (greencard holder) or employment based, they can only file for adjustment while currently in a valid nonimmigrant status at time of filing the I-485 AND the priority date for the I-130 or other petition must be current.
