I-140 does not accord a status in and of itself. It allows you to continue with the process of immigration but it also presumes that you are in valid nonimmigrant status throughout. What is your current nonimmigrant status? On what basis was your husband's visa denied? Was it the visa that was denied or the L-1 status? There is a difference.
