He can bring an action for custody, but the Court would consider all of the factors, including his immigration status. Without knowing all the factors, it's impossible to say at this point what either party's chances of prevailing are.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
