Travel after interview but before green card received

Hi, my wife's AOS interview in California is scheduled 5 days before we plan on traveling out of the country. Assuming she gets approved at the interview, can she travel before she gets the green card in the mail? She has a valid multiple entry K3 visa that does not expire for another year. I also heard you can get a I-551 stamp in your passport if you want to travel while your green card is in production. Would we even require that given we have a valid K3 visa? If yes, than how easy is it to get this stamp?

Thanks

Get the stamp, forget the k-3. We are going to travel 7 days after being approved at csc so I made an infopass to get the I-551 stamp two days before we leave.

Thanks freetv, I just spoke to my lawyer and she said they won't give us a stamp at Infopass or after the interview since these days card production takes only 3 weeks. Can you post your experience after you go for your infopass and let me know how it goes? Would much appreciate it! Thanks

The lady was alittle confused because we didn't have an interview, she thought she had seen us before lol. Anyway, after she checked our status she stamped the passport and sent us on our way. She was pretty nice and we didn't have any trouble at all. Tons of people were waiting outside because they arrived too early (when will people learn not to go early?) so make sure you get there on time. So make sure you get the stamp. Good luck

Travel to see family, we already booked our plane tickets and planned on using ap but got approved. She said, "alright" and that was it. I know ppl that have an interview need a really good reason to go so maybe you will "need" one, but I guess ppl that get approved at cali are ok without one.... or maybe I am lucky.
