That should not be a problem. First, they will not likely know that you are still in Michigan. Second, his visa entitles him to be in the United States, not just one state. Third, if they ask him when he arrives, he just needs to explain that you will soon be joining him in New York. Lastly, don't forget to make sure your addresses are all up to date with USCIS

You have not mention what visa he will use to enter and what status you wish to hold.

Hi, it is difficult to answer your question without knowing your husband's visa type. If New York is his final destination, then he needs to provide a local New York address. If he is visiting the United States on B-2, it does not matter where his spouse lives.
