A conviction of possession of cocaine with intent to sell could permanently bar your husband from ever immigrating to the United States. It is incumbent upon your husband to obtain complete paperwork and records of the charges against him and what happened in court. He should then bring all the paperwork and records to an immigration lawyer who can give him an opinion as to the effect of the drug charges on his future immigration prospects.
