My Husband and I want to apply for the I-129F Petition, so I could stay with him in Georgia while waiting for the I-130 Petition to get approved. How long does it go to the I-129F to get approved?

If you are married you can't do I-129F. Unless u r referring to a k3 petition? I think there are very few approvals for that nowdays.

A K-3?   It won't happen.....Approvals have been decreasing for years....Last year, only 5 were approved world-wide.  This year, there could be none.  The I-129F will be closed administratively, and the case will proceed as a Cr-1/IR-1.  Unfortunately, separation is part of the process........it sucks........

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Won't happen.  There is no way for you to stay in the US while it is pending.  If you have a valid ESTA or B visa, you can visit subject to CBP etc.
