If you are a U.S. citizen, you can file an immigrant petition for your husband, and he can file the adjustment of status application packet. If you are a U.S.permanent resident, you can file an immigrant petition for your husband; but he will have to wait about 2.5 years until his turn to receive an immigrant visa (he would have to extend or change his B1 status to stay legally in the U.S. while waiting for his immigrant visa, or return to his country and wait there, or become illegal; in the last scenario, if he does not get deported before receiving an immigrant visa, his illegal presence in the U.S. will be forgiven, and he will get a green card, if all the legal requirements are satisfied).

Quite possibly. You should consult an experienced immigration attorney to discuss your case in detail, but it sounds like you're a good candidate for a hardship waiver.

If your husband is detained on a criminal charge then the criminal matters will first be resolved prior to dealing with ICE, the agency which may have placed an hold on permitting bail. But, it may be possible to obtain parole release given the particular factors of your husband. Generally, domestic violence or other violent or drug offenses will not permit bail from ICE. I recommend you either contact our office for free consultation or another immigration attorney who also does both, criminal defense and immigration law so that the attorney has an understanding of whether your husband may qualify for safer pleas options under the US immigration law; however, if he has already plead guilty, then relief options with immigration court given his particular convictions.
