A: If your husband was issued a Notice to Appear and was placed in removal proceedings he must attend his scheduled court hearing or he could be ordered removed for failing to appear.

If a Cuban has been paroled into the United States they can apply for a green card under Cuban Adjustment Act after having been physically present in the United States for at least one year.

Depending on your immigration status he might also have the means of applying for relief through you. You should consult with an immigration attorney to discuss your husband’s options.
