As a general rule, if your husband came to the US with a visa even if it has since expired, he remains eligible to adjust status [green card] and without having to leave the US, if you, as his US citizen spouse files the necessary paperwork with CIS. Average processing time of this type of case is about 6 months from filing to your joint interview at your local CIS office and hopefully, an approval I caution that while this may seem straightforward, please note that immigration law is very complex and can be daunting if you are not familiar with the process. Minor errors will cause big problems later on. Please consult with an experienced lawyer in your area prior to filing any paperwork.
