If my in-laws get approved for an immigrant visa could they enter the US and then go back to their home country to get all their affairs in order? If they get approved they want to cross right away to come see their grandson. They are then planning on returning to their home country after only staying a week in the US. They will make the big move about 3 months later. They have a few things to get in order before they can permanently move . They can't do it before hand because they have to be sure they are approved.

Will they be allowed to reenter the US before they are given their green card? Can they have multiple entries on the approved visa?

Any advice appreciated

Yes and immigrant Visa (CR1/IR1) they can leave the next minute and yesthey can comeback 3 months later no problem. The temp stamp in their passport will be their green card temporarily to reenter.

Yes, they can come and leave pretty much the same day if they choose so. Stamped immigrant visa serves as a temporary green card and they can come and go as they want.

Not an uncommon scenario.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

yes, but they should not stay out longer than 6 months- 3 months, as planned, should be no problem.
