Let $\{S_n,\, n\geq1\}$ be a random walk with independent and identically distributed increments, and let $\{g_n,\,n\geq1\}$ be a sequence of real numbers. Let $T_g$ denote the first time when $S_n$ leaves $(g_n,\infty)$. Assume that the random walk is oscillating and asymptotically stable, that is, there exists a sequence $\{c_n,\,n\geq1\}$ such that $S_n/c_n$ converges to a stable law. In this paper we determine the tail behavior of $T_g$ for all oscillating asymptotically stable walks and all boundary sequences satisfying $g_n=o(c_n)$. Furthermore, we prove that the rescaled random walk conditioned to stay above the boundary up to time $n$ converges, as $n\to\infty$, towards the stable meander.
Keywords: random walk, first-passage time, overshoot, moving boundary.
