245i question. Is my husband eligible?

My husband was brought here in 1989, age 4 by his parents. However, no one ever filed on my husbands behalf that we know of even though both of his parents we're granted work authorization in the US and his father is now green card holder (his mother has since passed away; We have a copy of her work authorization forum in 1993.)

I keep seeing things about an 245i? Even though my husband didn't have anything filed on his behalf before that date that we are aware of is it possible that he could be 'protected' or 'eligible' for the 245i because he would of been under the age of 18 when both of his parents filed? (His mother filed for work authorization, and his father began his petitions with his current wife in 1998 so he was grandfathered and didn't have to leave the country.) Or was something needed to have been filed for my husband for him to be eligible?

Is he eligible based on his parents filing before 2000 and him being under 18 at the time or did they need to specifically file something for him to be eligible?
 
Should note his brother filed an I-130 petition for him in 2004. But that doesn't help since it wasn't before 2000. However, his brother had done all his filing before 2000, so maybe? :(
 
How did his father get a green card? Was a petition filed for one of his parents before 2001? If so, in what category?
