Yes it has happened but it is very difficult. I was told by my HR that it was hard but doable. Yeah, that was before I came here. Once here I was told that it is virtually impossible. Whilst all my other male colleagues would get a type of visa for their female spouses, my spouse would get a different type of visa, renewable monthly for up to 6 months only. The short of it is that if your company is not willing to back you up all the way and fight for your husband's visa, it will probably not happen.
Send me a PM if you want to discuss more details.
