*** Moving from AOS to Travelling During Immigration ****

Your husband has a greencard, and so can travel in and out of the USA freely (assuming he doesn't stay out too long). However, other countries will still go by his Moroccan citizenship, so he will need a visa to visit most of Europe.

Hello:

Can my husband travel on an IR-1 freely? Would he be able to travel to Paris and stay a night on his way to Morocco?

The IR-1 is a single use entry visa for the US. Upon entry, it is stamped and converts to a one year temporary I-551 (i.e. green card). He can use it to enter the US. It is no longer an IR-1 once it is stamped.

The I-551 allows him to enter the US. It does not allow him to travel freely to other countries. If France requires a person from his country to have a visa, then he would need a visa to travel to Paris and stay a night on his way to Morocco. After all, he is a citizen of his home country and he needs whatever travel documents from there to travel to another country. Being a US LPR MAY (not shall but may) give him limit travel rights to certain countries, but he is primarily traveling as a citizen of his country and subject to all the regulations imposed by France.
