A: Your question it’s not clear, you did not state the specific reasons he was refused admission, it’s also not clear if you applied for him as alien relative or not, but assuming that you applied for him as alien relative, the I- 601 is a waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility, some other issues may appear during interview that are not covered by the I- 601 waiver. Generally when refusing to grant visa, consular give a written report explaining the ground for refusal or the reasons for remanding cases to CIS for further action on petitions on behalf of relatives, please note that a approval of I-601 waivers is not an automatic reinstatement of previous immigrant status in the USA and your husband is considered alien seeking admission no alien returning to previous status
