    Default Waiting Period for the Spouse of a Permanent Resident

    Hi,

    I just want to know how long is the waiting period for a spouse petition by a Permanent Resident? Is there anyway that I can stay longer beyond my visa duration while waiting for the approval of the petition?

    My long time boyfriend (Way back in the Philipppines)and now my husband is a service man and currently deployed for 7 months abroad. He was about to be naturalize before they left for deployment. I entered the United States under J-1 Visa that will end soon. My husbands does'nt want me to go home (Philippines) and just want me to stay, wait for him and to arrange things like our future house. Im staying right now in Illinois and we're planning to settle down in Virginia when comes back.

    Im confused on what is the best thing to do with this. Im willing to go back home and wait for the approval of the petition there. At the same time, I'm/We're also afraid that it will take so long for us to be together again if we dont have any choice or options for me to stay here legally while waiting for my husband from his deployment and to arrange all the legal documents that we need.

    Thank you so much!!!
