Your fear of being caught up in random violence is not grounds for asylum.  If you fear you will be persecuted because of your political beliefs (or some other personal reason), particularly if you have been persecuted in the past for this, then you may be eligible for asylum.  I would be happy to talk to you on the phone about this if you want to call me (my number is listed in my profile on this site).

You can apply for a family based visa petition for your husband the visa most likely will be approved. The problem he has is obtaining residency. He will not be granted residency in the US because he entered illegally unless he entered on or before 2001 and qualifies for 245i. For him to obtain his residency, he is going to have to leave the US to his home country, go to the interview over there and present waivers for illegal presence in the US and a few others. This is a very difficult process and it is very hard to be given admittance back to the US unless you can prove extreme hardship to you and your child if he does not come back. Extreme hardship has a very high burden of proof, just because he was the financial supporter does not work. You are recommended to consult an attorney that can review all the details of your case to see if it would be feasible to go through this risky process.
