West Lafayette, IN asked in Immigration Law for Indiana

Q: Can my spouse and I teach in Japan for a year while spouse visa is processed, or does he need stay in his home country?

He is Nicaraguan, I am a US citizen. We aren't sure if he could finish the spouse visa process while we are living in Japan, at the embassy there, like for interview and such, or would he need to return to Nicaragua for the interview and finalizing processes? I'm also not sure if I should stay in the US until he gets the visa, in case anything goes wrong during the process.
