I am planning to head back to the states before her.. We have the interview next week and we're hoping things go well (we filed DCF). I'm not exactly sure, but dont they send her visa to our mailing address in the US after entering? The thing is, she was thinking to come visit for a week or so in November.. Would she have to remain there after entering, or could she come back to Italy with no problem. I really have no idea how that works.. Any ideas?

7-9-09: Mailed I-130 to US embassy Rome

7-10-09: I-130 recieved

7-20-09: I-130 approved forwarded to consul in Naples

7-30-09: Packet 3 received via e-mail

7-31-09: DS-230 Part 1 faxed to consulate

7-31-09: Packet 4 received via e-mail

8-7-09: Called Naples consulate to schedule interview

9-1-09: Interview (50 days since I-130 received)- APPROVED!!!

The CR/IR visa will be stamped in her passport and is valid for a year. Yes they will mail the actual card to you in the US , however she can travel with the I-551 stamp that will be in her passport :)

Why is it that the only one who can stop the crying is the one who started it in the first place?

Yes but is that a single or multi entry visa?

It will act as her temporary green card until she receives the actual card.
