File forms I-130 petition for alien relative and Form I-485 adjustment of status application (green card) and other sundry documents and forms and fees with USICS. You will both be asked to appear for a joint status interview at your local CIS office within 6 months and if properly done, we will obtain his green card within weeks of your interview.

You need to file an immigrant visa petition and your husband needs to file an adjustment of status application with USCIS. You should consult with an experienced immigration attorney to ensure that your husband meets all eligibility requirements for adjustment of status, that your case is filed with all necessary documentation to avoid delays and that you and your husband are fully prepared for the interview.

You must file an I-130 immigrant visa petition and your husband must file an I-485 application for adjustment of status. Both applications can be filed concurrently.
