If your husband entered US with a C-1 visa, I suggest you consult with an immigration attorney before applying for anything with CIS. He may not be eligible to adjust but without knowing more about his case, I cannot say for sure.

No, your husband is not eligible to adjust his status in the U.S., even if you were to become a citizen. He must return to his native country for consular processing. He will also be required to file a waiver for the accrual of his unlawful presence.

Generally someone who entered as a crew member is not eligible to adjust their status in the United States. Certain exceptions do apply. You should speak with an attorney in order to see whether he would be eligible for any of those exceptions.
