Re: husbands green card
He can file a Freedom of Information Act request. If it comes back that he isn't a lawful permanent resident, if you are a U.S. Citizen can file for him. Or, if he has a child over 21 who is a U.S. citizen, the child can file for him.

Please answer the following questions by contacting my law colleague, Allen Kaye in Manhatten (his contact details below), if you want further assistance.
1) What immigration office has your husband been dealing with?
2) Where does he live now?
3) Does he have an attorney representing him?
4) Has his lawyer been down to the local immigration office, to check on his case?
5) Has he asked his local U.S. congressman for assistance?

Re: husbands green card
In order to determine if there is/was a previous file with the CIS he can file a Freedom of Information Act request. If it turns out that he is not a lawful permanent resident then it may be possible for the U.S. Citizen relative to file for him. In the alternative, if he has a child over 21 who is a U.S. Citizen, then the child may be able to file for him to receive a green card.
