Is there a way to make the immigartion process go faster

Hello,

My name is William and I moved here about 1 and 1/2 yrs ago. We filed asap for a Spouse Visa a little over a year ago. The only thing I got from the govt was a messenger who came to my house and made me sign a paper saying I still live in spain. We got married in the USA and moved here. I was told it would take 6 monthes since we were married. Well its been over a year now. I can't work and I have to solely rely on my family. is there a way I can get a work permit or put a rush on the papers being finished?

please help
