No. He cannot apply for a work permit or a temporary visa if he is in USA illegally and you are not petitioning for his residency, AND he is not applying for adjustment of status.

He may not be eligible to apply for adjustment of status if he came to USA illegally without a visa.

How did he come to USA? When? Did someone ever petitioned for him? Did you/his wife petitioned for his residency in the past 6 years? What is his nonimmigrant status (visa)?

You shall consult an attorney before filing any petitions on his behalf.

The key question is how did he enter the U.S.? If he sneaked across the border, there is nothing that you can do to make him legal.

Hi, that would depend on how he entered the U.S.? Also does he have any petitions or applications already pending with either the state department of labor, the U.S. Dept. of Labor of the immigration offices. Please contact us with the info so we can help you better.

Is your husband in this country legally? Did you ever try to change his status to permanent resident?
