Without being married legally, you would likely not be able to assist him. Even if you petition for him assuming that you get married, his case may have complications dependent upon whether he was denied asylum by an asylum office only or by the immigration court and whether he entered the country legally. The best situation would be if you were a US citizen, your husband entered legally, and he was only denied by an asylum office and does not have any proceedings with the immigration court. In that case, he might be able to adjust to permanent residence in the US without leaving. Otherwise his case would be more complicated involving either attempts to reopen proceedings before the immigration court or Board of Immigration Appeals or his leaving the US and seeking waivers to be allowed back in.
