I'm not entirely sure if your current employer can make the determination that your husband is eligible for the E1 status unless they are planning on transfering him to the US to one of their affiliates or subsidiaries. Basically, the E1 gives the companies the right to transfer in whoever they want from any of their foreign affiliate offices (at the executive level).
However, if your husband is looking for an executive level job in the US, there's always E2 or E3 status. If the employer wants to hire him, they'll worry about the labor certification.

No! Not a solution for the OP, I.m afraid.
E1 and E2 visas are methods for transferring company personnel over to the US. However, they must be for companies with trade links between the US and the home country only, and they do NOT provide for permanent residency. These visas for this use are popular with Japanese and Korean companies where the employee will undoubtedly be returning to their home country. So there is no labor certification
The E3 visa is for Australian citizens only.
