You must go back before your say expires. It will take 3 years before a visa is avavilable for you.

Yes he can file for you but you must return home to Jamaica you cant stay here but you can continue to use your visitor visa to come and go. He can file the application as a LPR. Then he can apply for his citizenship to get you here much faster on his 5th anninervasry of LPR or 3 years if he is still married to a US citizen.

Keep it Real
