More details to this question:
My husband has a R1 Visa and I have a R2. He has been with the church for more than 2 years already so we know we are eligible to apply to a Green Card but we do not know if is better to do it from United States or is better to return to our country and do it there. Thanks in advance.

Generally speaking if people are able to do so I recommend filing from within the United States.

It is really a matter of personal preference. Just bear in mind that there are very specific rules and qualifications to be eligible for adjustment of status (or processing for residency in the US).

I'd recommend applying from the U.S. It's faster, more efficient, and saves you from the need to travel back home for an immigrant visa interview and all the cost and hassle associated with that interview.
