How can I file for my husband?

Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Alan R. Diamante APLC
It seems strange that he did not obtain voluntary departure instead of deportation. You need to marry first and then he will have to apply for two waivers. He will not get a waiver with the fiance visa.

What can be done if my husband may be deported?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
In most cases, violation of visa status is not quite enough to hold someone detained until the Immigration Court hearing. Being properly prepared, a request for release on bail should be successful. In many cases, it is easier - and takes a lot less time - to obtain relief from removal than to try getting a person back into the U.S. after deportation. Preparation for an Immigration Court hearing is better done with time to spare than at the last possible moment, especially if filing an immigrant petition would change the balance in your husband's favor. I would suggest that you consider retaining an immigration attorney ASAP instead of trying to gather some general advice.

Can I sponsor my mother if I have lived in the US for four years?

You need to be a citizen to petition your mother. You can apply for naturalization now if you have been married to and living with a US citizen for the last 3 years. Otherwise, you can apply 90 days prior to your 5 years of having residency.
