Legal Question in Immigration Law in Washington

The world has become my oyster but I'm used to small clams....

Hello: I am a Canadian citizen married in 2006 (in CDA) to a US citizen (retired military if relevant). We cross the border alternately (more often me going to US) each weekend to see each other. Since he likes his recreational toys (requires property to maintain them) and I was established in my job (20 years with casino gaming Co.) we decided to apply for I-130 and I would move to US close to border and continue to work in CDA (cross border daily). The Co I work for has subsidiaries in US so if crossing was an obstacle, there were alternatives. We keep putting the application off because I would not be able to cross the border (I was told) during the application process and something continually ''came up'' where this was not convenient. As of last week, things have changed. I now have the opportunity to work anywhere my skills will take me in the US or Canada, upgrade my education (US or Canada) or stay with my employer taking a position in a US sub. Before I make this decision, I would like to know what the fastest way my husband and I can be together is. Me to US or him to CDA? A temporary work/student visa to US? I-130? A temp work visa for him to CDA? Is there a military option? This willl help me make my career choice. Tnx
