Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

You theoretically could petition your husband for a greencard (not citizenship). However, you must be domiciled in the United States in order to do so. If you have lived in Hong Kong for the past 4 years, you would need to re-establish domicile in the U.S. first (while your spouse remained in Hong Kong). You would also probably need a co-sponsor for the Affidavit of Support.

Your spouse would then need to apply for his immigrant visa at the U.S. Consulate, since he cannot enter the U.S. as a visitor, now that he has immigrant intent.

Please let me know if you have further questions or need assistance.

Good luck!
