Hi - it all depends on where your husband is.  I assume he's in the US.  The process is called adjustment of status to apply here in the US.  Whether he came in to the US legally or not will likely determine whether he can apply for adjustment of status.  For someone who came in illegally, there are some possible options to staighten out his legal status, like 245(i) or a provisional waiver for unlawful presence. Of course any criminal or immigration violation will affect his eligibility. You need to be careful, and avoid working with notaries and form preparers. I recommend speaking with an experienced immigration lawyer about his eligibility.  Out law firm helps people throughout the country. Let us know if we can help.
