More details to this question:
Hi, I am about to begin the process of bringing my foreign spouse to America so he can become a permanent resident. Currently he is in school abroad, and I am afraid if I start early and they call him for an interview and he gets approved he would have to leave school to come here. Is it possible after receiving his green card to go back to finish school and visit me at the end of every semester? A semester is about 4 months long. If I estimate correctly, he gets approved who will have 1-2 semesters left of school.

If he needs another 2 semesters to complete , then you should right now apply for a spousal visa-that is available to couples where the US citizen spouse is here in America and the foreign spouse is overseas. As of late 2019, it is taking roughly 12-24 months to get the I-130 approved, and once that is complete, then a visa application form is submitted to the NVC, and when the NVC sees that all the paperowk is in order, they send it to the foreign consulate near where your spouse lives where his interview will take place. Thereafter, he will be approved for his immigrant visa and then a green card when he gets to the United States. Consider working with counsel to help you. Counsel in any state can represent you and some of us, including me, charge a very affordable flat fee to see the case through from start to finish.
