Hello, If you file for your spouse's Adjustment in the US, first he must come with non immigrant intent. Thus, you cannot file his case upon arrival. After you file the case, it will take about 3 or 4 months to get the travel permit. He must stay in the US until he gets this travel permission. Leaving in 3 months is too quick...in my opinion.

It depends on the grounds for his removal.  If it was because of an aggravaged felony, he's barred for life from returning and the only hope is to collaterally attack the underlying conviction(s).  If it was for mere unlawful presence, the a waiver may be available allowing him to immigrate to ehe'll US.

When the I-130 is approved, it is standard procedure for U.S.C.I.S. to forward the approved petition to the National Visa Center. Upon receipt, the NVC sends a notice to the petitioner that it has received the petition and assigns it a case number. From that point forward, the NVC will only notify the petitioner or the applicant of further work to be done and documents to be given if the immigrant visa is immediately available or close to becoming available. If the I-130 petition has been approved and you have heard nothing from the NVC, you can contact the NVC by telephone at 603-334-0700 or by email at AskNVC@state.gov.
