Hey there, I will try to help as much as I know.
The positive of the in-land is that you can be together during the process of the application, but the bad side is it takes longer than outland, and you don't have the right to appeal if your visa was refused.
The positive of the outland: it's quicker than the inland, average is between 6 to 12 month as long you have all the proof they need, but the negative side of it is some people got to be separated until the visa is approved.
As far as I know, when you are going to file for sponsoring your spouse, in whatever country he is, he need to have a legal status in that country for at least 1 year after filling...
I hope I was able to help you in some info, but I am sure the master over this forum will help you with their info.
Good luck
What do you mean that he would need to have a legal status in that country for at least 1 year after filing. What if he already has legal status in the country that he is living in before applying would there still be a one year wait?

The responder is confused, to apply in country that is not your normal country of residence, you have to be ADMITTED for 1 year or more to apply to the visa office. Not live there for a year, but on your last admission it was for a year or more.
