More details to this question:
A case for my husband’s permanent residency was received on June 2016 and approved in September 2016. Now NVC says that the case is not eligible for further processing because there is an annual limit and I have to wait until my case becomes current.

They are talking about priority dates and availability of immigrant visa. Your husband is in a 2nd Preference category for visa availability and the waiting period is at least 2 years before a visa is available. If you qualify for U.S. Citizenship, I suggest that you become a U.S. Citizen. Once you are a U.S. citizen, you can upgrade our husband's preference and he will be able to get his green card processed sooner.
