IIRC, the FAA has had their actions overturned for failure to process them in a speedy manner...this is a constitutional protection and I think 6 months is the usual standard. However...
The clock might start when the FAA finds out about the violation, not when the violation occured.
In the case of an accident years later, time is your friend. Over the course of years...
The student gains flight experience.
He gets BFRs, IPCs, new ratings, and club checkouts.
The more checkouts between you and the student, the better. The people who touched it most recently will bear the brunt. However if you made a significant documentation ommission, or actually omitted some required training, who knows?
