Is your husband a US citizen or a Green Card holder?

He is a US citizen

Are you returning to school? On OPT?

You can search the forums for proof of relationship. It can be things like joint leases, bank accounts, tickets from trip taken together or to see each other, chat logs, emails, affidavits, etc.

Ok then thank you. How long would it take for the paper work to be completed if we do it in CT. The plan was to return to school thus January,if that doesn't work plan go finish in summer.

If I'm not mistaken you can just apply for adjustment of status. This thread might help you: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/421055-adjustment-of-status-for-f-1-opt-student-based-on-marriage-to-us-citizen/

You can also look at the processing times page on VJ to see, but I don't think the fact that he's in CT will make much of a difference.

Ok then, I was wondering if it will take long being as we not in the same state, and thank you the threat really helped alot.

Shouldn't matter if you're in different states.

Ok

Where is the processing time page on here? I would like to submit documents at the end of the month

It's on the second bar at the top of the page. Here's a more direct link http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/aosstats.php

Looks like it'll take about 5 months.
