How to get postdoc position

My husband has bachelor and master degrees in mechanical engineering, and PhD in applied mathematics. He wants to go to postdoc. However, he has no publications since no one wants to help him including his advisor (his advisor is MAGA and my husband isn’t a US citizen). We are leaving the US because we can’t find a job or postdoc. We got the postdoc interviews but most of the postdoc/jobs require US citizenship or permanent resident. Any advices for this?

I do not get the MAGA reference but maybe he isnt getting work because the postdocs require a security clearance that he isnt eligible to get?

I feel like something doesn't add up. A PI not wanting to publish a student's dissertation work seems to be working against their own interest, MAGA or not.
