You may be able to file for him to receive his greencard. However, you should consult with an immigration attorney to discuss his inadmissibility issues. For a free consultation, please call my office at 1-800-408-5818.

I would need to know more information about how long he was in the U.S. illegally for, and what is your personal situation. You will need a waiver to overcome past unlawful presence, this is based on extreme hardship to you, as you are the qualifying relative.

Contact me for a free consultation as I dont have enough information from your question to advise you further.

You can file for your husband to get a green card through a U.S. Consulate abroad. He will need to file a waiver for his unlawful presence and he must show that you will suffer extreme hardship if he is not able to return to be with you. The DUIs will be considered as negative factors in a request for a waiver. Extreme hardship cases are determined on a discretionary basis and are very fact-intensive, so it is important that you consult with an immigration attorney to evaluate whether your husband has a strong waiver case. Please give me a call at 415-273-9123 to discuss this matter further.
