You have to make sure that when he was fingerprinted at the border and sent back, it was not classified as a "removal." If it is classified as a removal, then your husband would have an illegal entry after deportation which is a criminal act. The way to determine this is to submit a Freedom of Information Act Request with the relevant government agencies such as CBP and OBIM. If there was never a removal and you are a United States Citizen, then he might be able to get a green card via an I-601A waiver. Due to the complexities of this case, you should consult an experienced immigration attorney.

I agree with my colleague. Here is the link to request the FOIA online: https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/foia/action/public/request/publicPreCreate
