Re-entry into the U.S. with a visitor's visa is permissible only for people who enter with non-immigrant intent - i.e. with the intention to stay temporarily and then return abroad. If someone enters the U.S. with a visitor's visa and then promptly files an application to Adjust Status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident, there can become a presumption of visa fraud - that is, a fraudulent representation of non-immigrant intent. That presumption can be rebutted, and generally the presumption is not waived if an application to Adjust Status is filed more than 60 days after an entry. Note that when an adult U.S. citizen petitions for parents in the Immediate Relative visa category, the fact that a foreign national parent may have overstayed his/her visa will not stand in the way of eligibility to adjust status. It would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, will be able to advise whether it would be appropriate to delay filing an application to Adjust Status, notwithstanding the upcoming expiration of the initial visa. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.

Significantly more information is needed in order to provide a legal analysis. Of course, you, as a U.S. citizen, may enter the U.S. by showing your U.S. passport. In general, a foreign national may use his valid visa and his passport to enter the U.S., but some exceptions apply, such as if the foreign national has a visitor's visa (or some other types of nonimmigrant visas) and his intention is to become married and apply to remain in the U.S. as a Permanent Resident. If that may be his intention, then it would be wise for you and him to consult with an immigration attorney who, upon learning all of the relevant facts, could advise about eligibilities, options, and strategies to attain your goals.
