Green card for the spouse?

Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The choice is not necessarily one or the other – your wife could apply for the I-130 at this time and possibly upgrade it to immediate relative petition status after she obtains her citizenship. The benefits of filing now are that the petition will have a head start in case your wife fails to be naturalized, and there is a lesser burden of proof than if you are subsequently placed under proceedings in front of an immigration court (assuming that you filed your asylum application affirmatively with U.S.C.I.S and your case is still pending with the agency). For adjustment of status in the U. S. based on marriage, you would generally have to be the immediate relative of a U. S. citizen to qualify (spouses, parents, and children under the age of 21 and unmarried are considered immediate relatives who can adjust status even if not maintaining legal status so long as they were inspected and admitted or paroled into the country) unless you are maintaining legal status at all times in the country. There is a legal question as to whether an individual whose timely files for asylum while in legal nonimmigrant status which later expires is considered legal for purposes of an adjustment of status application based upon a category other than asylum.

Can my husband fix papers even though 5 years ago they made him sign a voluntary departure form and fingerprinted him?

We would need to get more facts, but if he had voluntary departure and failed to leave, it's a huge problem.

If she entered the country legally she can adjust status here once you petition her for her green card. If she entered illegally then you can still sponsor her as a US citizen spouse but she will need an approved waiver of inadmissibility prior to being interviewed at the foreign consulate in Mexico.
