OP os on a temp work visa and that is likely to the quickest and cheapest option, when are you due to go home?

He can leave the US at any time unless his employment contract makes other enforceable requirements.

 

However, in many arranged marriages, the US visa status of the partners is a big issue. Any concern about relocating outside the US by either partner is a big flag.

He is on a H, no mention of a GC, and did not state how long he has been here.

The same applies to individuals on work visas - especially with GC pending.  One of my pet peeves is that guest workers can immediately bring new spouse while US citizens and LPRs have waits of a year and more to bring their spouses. Should it not be that USCs  and LPRsget faster processing than guest workers?  That would be reasonable and fairer than to give preference to someone choosing to come to work.

Different process, there is after no real reason why most Immigrant Petitions can not be processed in a few weeks.

Most spouses of H1B cannot work. A green card allows you to live in the US and work, do whatever, with an H4 or H1B you cannot do that. So I do not think it is unreasonable to have a faster process for visas.

 

The green card  for spouses takes long because of bureaucracy and very thorough background checks, and the financial sponsorship paperwork. There is more USCIS has to go through.
