Traveling While Under Conditional Permanent Residence

[chemarc 0]

Hello All,

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but here goes. My wife came to the US in early October on the marriage visa,(much thanks to this informative site) and we have not been married for more than two years so I'm assuming the residence in conditional. However, she had to go back to her country in early December because her mother had gotten sick and she needed to help out. She has a round trip ticket set to come back on March 10. Will there be an issue in trying to come back. She has a social security card already. Anything that she or I has to do before she comes back?

By "conditional residence" I assume you mean she filed AOS and has a conditional green card. If that is so, then all she needs is the green card to re-enter.

[Chica Yeyé 41]

The green card is all she needs.

We didn't file anything yet because the conditional permanent residence is for the first two years. She was only here for two months before going back to her country.

She has a valid PERMANENT RESIDENT CARD. There is no such thing as a CONDITIONAL RESIDENT CARD.

All I saw that she has was a s.s. card and her marriage visa inside her pasport. I didn't see anything else.

What type of visa did she enter the US with?

K-1?

K-3?

CR-1?

CR-1

CR-1

OK. How come she has not received her permanent resident card? How long has she been here?

Her resident card should have come via the mail... otherwise she should have the I-551 stamp in her passport

She was only here for two months before she went back. The social security card was sent right away but I didn't see a permanent residence card.

[Chica Yeyé 41]

It takes about 2 months to get here - mine took about 6 weeks. But with the visa in her passport she should be fine. Let's see what others say.

Thanks Len. Anyone I can call to check and see if it has been sent? Also, when the visa was issued to her by the Embassy there was an expiration date of January 2nd because you have six months to go to USA after the interview has been approved.

Visa doesn't apply any longer. It's been used and is void now.

sister, isn't a CR-1 a multiple entry visa? I thought as much.
