You cannot ajust status in the us as a spouse of a green card holder, the greencard holder can file I-130 but you need to return home for interview at your consulate when your piority date becomes current. It is advisable to return home before the  expiry date on your I-94 before you incur a ban.

He files an I-130. You go home before your I-94 expires. You are permitted to visit again (but every entry is at the discretion of CBP still). After a 4+ month visit, you would want to stay outside the US for at least 4 months and probably closer to 8+ months to avoid suspicion of using a tourist visa to live in the US.

ETA: ~2-2.5 years from I-130 filing to interview at the embassy abroad.
