If arrest charges did not result in a conviction and were dismissed, Immigration & Customs Enforcement has no legal grounds for placing your husband in removal proceedings - but can they do it anyway. Another clear possibility is that, if your husband's green card is a conditional one, USCIS will give you hard time about removing the conditions. Considering these two possibilities, I would advise you to retain an immigration attorney. By the way, if your husband has a 2-year, conditional green card, you have to file a petition for removal of conditions before the card expires - otherwise, your husband will lose his permanent residence automatically.

Sometimes two cases filed at the same time Are not always processed at the same time. A few months ago I filed two applications same time. An American citizen son filed for his mom and his dad. We put both application in a single envelope with request not to separate the two cases. A few months later one parent got a work permit and the other one was approved for the same about 10 days later. One parent was scheduled for interview about four months after filing. She was approved for a green card on the interview day. It took 4 additional months for the other parent to be scheduled for his interview. We regularly file two applications at the same time if they involved one single petitioner. I would say about 90% of them are Kept together and the other 10% are being separated. I have not figure out an explanation. Your other parent should most likely get his or her work permit pretty soon. It usually takes an average of 2 to 3 months for work permit to be approved.

In general, eligibilities to adjust status to become a Lawful Permanent Resident (to get a "Green Card") fall into two main categories: family-based applications and employment-based applications. If you believe you may have a family relationship or employment opportunities that could form a basis for adjustment of status, you should consult with an immigration attorney. Upon learning all of the relevant information about you and your family relative and/or employment opportunity, the lawyer will be able to advise you about eligibilities, options and strategies.
