He should be able to provided he can prove ties to the Dominican such as pay stubs, or a lease agreement. He would need to prove to US Customs that he is in fact visiting and not immigrating.

The chances of your husband getting a tourist visa, unless he has VERY VERY strong ties to DR such as good job, decent salary, property, money in the bank etc, are slim to none. I hate to be brutally honest with you but it's the reason why so much fraud takes place in DR. They don't give tourist visas out very often. Sad truth. :(
