Interview end of April

[cdrrck24 0]

My wife has her interview at the end of April. If they approve her how long till she can travel? Her school starts up June 22nd of 2010 and we really hope she can return for 2 months to finish her degree. I realize no one can predict the future but is the green card ordered at the end of the interview if its successful or is their more waiting?

Well, it depends on how many months before her visa can expire. Sometime, a visa is for 3 or 6 before it expires. So, after the interview, she will probably have up to 3 or 6 months to travel before her visa can expire. I think it is ordered at the end of the interview if it is successful. Or she can always go and finish up her degree. My cousin did that before...she came,got her green card and we back home for her graduation ceremony. Now,she's back in the states with her degree.

Yeah thats what she will be doing. Should only take 4 months but who knows sometimes.

Thank you.

Eh.... K-1 is single entry, no? Valid for 6 months from date of issue but canceled and replaced with I-94 at the original POE.

I may well be wrong, but I remember something about needing advance parole to travel out of the US?

Or maybe at the interview she can get the I-551 temporary green card stamped into her passport? You can definitely at least ask for the stamp at the interview. I'm certain that stamp is just as good as a green card for travel, though.
