AFAIK, H2B is not an eligible category for a direct "adjustment of status" to permanent resident.... H2B is a temporary or "seasonal" work visa....

YMMV

If he/she qualifies for an Immediate Relative visa, then that is probably the path...

The US citizen family member must file a petition on behalf of the intended immigrant with the USCIS.
