QUESTION
Will I be asked to go back to my country for a green card process even though I recieved an approval notice to change my status?

More details to this question:
I'm married to a US citizen and had a C1/D when we met. My husband is not healthy, needs constant care and has no one else but me to take care of him. Our fear is not knowing whether or not I would be required to go back to my country to continue with the green card application if we file, following this approval notice.

Crew members are not deemed to have been admitted and thus are not eligible to adjust status (as opposed to process a visa at a consulate abroad). You will have to process your case outside the US at the appropriate time. However, you should only have to leave for the period of time it takes to get your medical exam done in country and appear for your interview (usually only a few days or weeks).
