My husband and I have been looking into fixing his "papers" and I'm hoping to hear some good news, how do we proceed?

Immigration laws and regulations regarding marriage-based adjustment of status applications can be pretty complex, and it is not surprising that you are unsure where to begin. Significantly more information about you and your husband is needed, however, in order to answer your question. Assuming that you are a U.S. citizen, that your husband entered the U.S. lawfully and with inspection, that your husband does not have a criminal arrest record that would stand in the way of eligibility, and other considerations too, the process could involve filing a Petition for Relative Alien along with an Application for Adjustment of Status, each with supporting documents; at no additional cost for filing fees, an Application for an Employment Authorization Document ("work permit") and, assuming eligibility, an Application for Advance Parole, also could be filed for benefits while the Adjustment of Status case is pending. The best way to proceed, however, would be to engage an immigration attorney to learn all of the relevant facts and then be able to advise about eligibilities, options and strategies. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
