My husband case ..

There is a possibility of your husband obtaining his legal status as his entering the US with a fake passport indicates that he was inspected at the time of his arrival. He would of course have to prove that he entered with the fake passport and most immigration offices would require him to present the original passport of entry when he applies for an adjustment of status application to permanent residence. As he entered with a fake passport, he would have to apply for a waiver of fraud, and I assume that you have done so, were denied the waiver, and are now in filing form I-290 notice of appeal to the Commissioner. You will receive another adjudication by the AAO (Administrative Appeals Office) of USCIS and hopefully the decision will be favorable. I note that in these cases, it is better to be represented by counsel experienced in waiver applications.
