Hi!
You will need to sponsor your husband to become a permanant resident. If you don't meet the required yearly income, you can get a co-sponsor who does. See here for more details..

I can't see that you would necessarily need to be employed, but you do need to provide the last 3 years tax returns - whether they meet the required income or not.
You could use assets (if you have any) but they would need to equal 5 times the required yearly income.
As for the rest of it, read here..

Good luck!

You are a U.S. Citizen. You should apply the K-3 Visa for your husband...He will be able to work while waiting for his LPR card. Go to http://www.uscis.gov/ and make a search for K-3 Visa for more information.

K3 visa would be for a husband who is outside the US. If he entered the US legally already, then follow the links HappyGirl provided.
