It would be advisable to hire counsel anywhere in the US. If husband entered the country legally and u are a US citizen, then u can petition him for his green card. The whole process from start to finish takes about a year. A carefully prepared application assures the best chance of success. Immigration officers are now meticulously scrutinizing each marriage application so best to hire counsel.
