Tam - you need to check out what would be required for your husband to become, at least, a permanent resident in the USA. It cost us over $3,000 for the legal stuff to get my green card and immigration can be tricky. We had to provide a lot of proof that we were in a genuine relationship - for some reason they think that EVERYONE is desperate to live in the States. Assurances will be required that you can support your husband and that he will not become a drain on the USA.

You may also find that, unless you present a fait accompli with your husband living in the States, that they may refuse him entry until they have made up their minds to give him a temporary green card, which lasts for two years, after which you have to apply for the permanent card (lasts for 10 years and then must be renewed). i didn't even try going through the American Embassy in the UK - at that time it cost just to phone them and everything was SLOW.

PM me your phone# and I'll give you further info.
