If your husband is convicted a crime involving moral turpitude, he is subject to deportation. We suggest you to consult with an experienced immigration attorney so he/she can coordinate with your criminal attorney.

The above reply is for informational purposes only and not for the purpose of providing legal advice. You should contact an attorney to obtain advice with respect to any particular issue or problem. Use of and access to this Web site does not create an attorney-client relationship.
You need to provide more info. What is your husband's immigration status at this time? Has he been in trouble with the law before? Once you provide more info, someone might be able help you with preliminary feedback. The rights and reliefs available are very different. If this is his first time, immigration might not do anything but if he entered illegally, then it is a different story. Eventually you should definitely consult an immigration attorney who deals with court cases of this sort and meet with the attorney in person.
It's also not clear whether he was convicted yet or not. His criminal attorney should be speaking to an immigration lawyer before he pleads to anything to minimize or possibly eliminate any immigration consequences of the conviction. There was a Supreme Court case on this issue last week and hopefully criminal counsel will know to speak with immigration counsel first before acting
It's not yet clear whether your husband is removable (used to be called deportable), whether he requires a waiver, is eligible to adjust status or immigrate legally. An indepth consultation would be needed for that.
