If your husband can demonstrate a well founded fear of persecution in his

home country of Pakistan based upon the required criteria, he may be able to petition successfully for asylum (in the event that he has already not attempted such and been denied).

Before anything else, thanks for writing me at LawGuru.com

Sometimes is possible if he has proofs and request for a 'pardon'. He must ask for the 'pardon' at US Embassy explaining his case with details. Is not sure, but is an option. An answer takes, more or less, 3 months. Details: www.uscis.gov

Any doubt or another question, let me know it please.
