Thanks for all the feedback! This is why I come here first before spending time or money on an attorney. You all rock!

Hi everyone! Quick question on filing time for adjustment of status for my brother. I am a USC, and my brother travelled from his own country in Europe for a vacation about 6 weeks ago. (ESTA Entry) Weather was pretty bad for the first couple of weeks so he decided to extend his stay here so we could do more things together that we originally planned. Recently, his girlfriend broke up with him and he really has nowhere to go back home so I floated the idea to him that maybe he should think about staying here if it’s possible and that I could sponsor him for a green card. He is interested and so I started to look into it. I understand the AOS process, as its something I have been through before after I met my wife and we got married in 2017. My question is, when is the ideal time to file? There seems to be some variance with 60+ days and some either say wait until after 90 days but his ESTA only lasts for 90 days and we don't want to break any rules if he overstays. He did not come here with any intent to stay, but life threw him some lemons and myself and my family would be happy to help him out if at all possible to help him get on his feet and start over. Any advice or links to guides/previous threads will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.
