The first step is for your husband to become a lawful permanent resident. He can only become a United Sttaes citizen after he has been a lawful permanent resident for either 3 or 5 years. More information is needed about your husband's immigration history to ascertain how to best proceed. First and foremost, any attorney would need to know how your husband entered the country and whether he was ever in deportation/removal proceedings. His manner of entry will dictate how he will proceed to obtain lawful permanent residence. You can read more information about family immigration at http://myattorneyusa.com/family-immigration.
