How old is your son?
How long has it been since you visited him?
One of the other issues you will need to resolve is that of ‘sole responsibility’ for your son.
Please look here:-

The 'sole responsibility' rule can cause many applications to be very complex, as the
meaning of the term cannot be precise. Every family’s situation is unique.
I personally have not seen any written information from The UKBA on specifically how
to prove sole responsibility status.
But you will need to think about how to satisfy the UKBA that the sponsoring parent
has, usually for a substantial period of time, been the main person exercising parental responsibility for the child. This means that the sponsoring parent has had and still has the ultimate responsibility for the major decisions relating to the child’s upbringing and provides the child with the majority of the financial and emotional support it requires. The sponsoring parent must show that he or she has had, and continues to have, care and control of the child.
UKBA will normally expect that where the child is being looked after by relatives, they should be the relatives of the sponsor.In such a case the, sponsoring parent must
still show that she or he has retained the ultimate responsibility for the child’s upbringing and provides the majority of the emotional and financial support needed.
Based on this I think it would be difficult for your husband to be the sponsor.
I hope I have not made any incorrect assumptions about your own circumstances.
If any other members have any experience under similar conditions please help.
