It really depends on what basis he will be filing for adjustment of status. If you are a US citizen and you are getting married and then filing a petition on his behalf, then it will be forgiven as this is the case for immediate relative petitions. For other types of petitions, it may not be so clearcut. Perhaps you can elaborate on what exactly you are planning to file, when and on what basis.
