You must file a Form I-130 on his behalf, and he must file an adjustment of status packet, which would include Forms I-485 and I-765. You will both need to file Form G-325, and you will need to complete and file an affidavit of support to establish that he will not be a public charge.

He should not file a request for a travel document, as he would trigger the 3/10 year bar if he travels overseas. He should not travel abroad until at least having an approval of the residency or "green card."

I highly recommend that you seek the assistance of an experienced immigration attorney to prepare and file the applications on your behalf. I have seen many straight-forward cases that should be simple, become long drawn-out nightmares when filed without an attorney.

All the best,
