If your husband's foreign student advisor, or graduate advisor can sign a
letter, telling the INS that the six credit/semester event was due to some
legitimate reasons, then INS should be satisfied. Among those reasons, there
are:

1) Health Problem: due to certain health condition, a full time study was 
   difficult to maintain, and he might want to take a part time instead;
2) Academic Reasons: Since it was several years into his program, there might
   not be enough courses for him to take, say, all the other courses offered at
   that time were either the ones he had taken before, or in the fields not
   related to his intented study. That was, he intended to take nine credits
   but due to the courses offered, he was not able to do so. In this event,
   he even did not have to take any course in order to maintain his full time
   status (of course he had to register). Talk to his academic advisor for 
   this event, and it is not difficult to ask him to sign a letter and then
   ask the the foreign student advisor to sign it also.

Do not panic. You are quite okay!

At the time your husbund took only 6 creadit, if he was a TA or RA; or if he
has changed his status to DED (Bush excutive order), then you don't need to
worrry. Just explain it to INS. Otherwise, you should think of a good reason,
such as illness.

For your information only.
