I am not sure of what your previous attorney is speaking of. To apply for Cancellation of Removal, Form EOIR-42B is used. However, if you are not in removal proceedings, that would not apply to you. If your husband ends up with status as a Permanent Resident, then you can apply for your green card as his spouse. Other than that, there are other options for you to obtain a lawful status through your parents (if they are US citizens/Permanent Residents) or through your brothers/sisters( if they are U.S. citizens) or through your children if they were born in the US and once your 16 year old becomes 21. You really need to consult with an immigration attorney to explore all of your options.
