There is not enough information to answer your question. Think about making an appointment with an immigration attorney to figure out if your father is eligible to adjust status (criminal record? Manner of entry into the US?). If he is eligible you should file right away. Good Luck.
Assuming he is eligible you should begin the process as soon as possible as it can take some time to process. You should consult with an immigration attorney to determine eligibility and ensure there are no problems you are not aware of; further, an attorney can assist with the Courts in either continuing the case to allow for the adjustment to be processed or, perhaps, seeking to have the case closed altogether based on prosecutorial discretion.
