If you are a U.S. citizen, I suggest you file an I-130 petition on his behalf promptly. If he is detained, it is highly likely that he will be served with a Notice to Appear before the Immigration Court. Before the Court, you can advise the Immigration Judge that you have a pending petition on your husband's behalf and when it is approved he will request adjustment of his status. If you are not a citizen, but a lawful permanent resident, you can still petition, but he will have to return to Nicaragua and consular process back to the U.S. I suggest you find a good immigration attorney to help you out with the process as this can become very complicated. You are welcome to contact my office for possible representation, or for a good referral in the Florida area. Good luck to you!
