Can my mother in law be in her native country while she awaits for her son's interview date?

My mother in law is applying for her son (my wife's brother) to immigrate to US.

My mother in law is a green card holder.

She was intending on travelling to her native country to visit her father, while meanwhile her son waits to get his interview date. She was planning on returning back to US, with her son, together.

Someone advised that during his interview she MUST be in US or else the application will be rejected and visa not given. For some reason I felt that this must be absurd, however I didn't get a chance to call NVC, I figured let me reach out to the VisaJourney community.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

All documents have been submitted. Just waiting for interview date now.

He turned 21 in March '16.

She plans on going soon and stay couple of months. We are estimating the interview date to be around July/Aug, as last documents sent to NVC was end of March.

She week be fine. A couple of months is not going to hurt anything.

Nothing to worry about.

So whatever "people" are saying I guess has to do if she is there for more than 6 months, I suppose.

Based on your reply Nuestra, it seems she should be fine if she is in her native country and her son is going through the interview, while she is there.

People made it sound as if it was a big "no, no" that she couldn't be there when he has his interview.

Correct.

Your MIL has her GC and can travel to her country. If the anticipated interview is in June/ July then it will not be a problem.

If it was a situation where your MIL was at the beginning of the process of applying for her son and wanted to live in her country for 1 - 2+ years until the interview, then it would pose a problem as she would be in jeopardy of losing her GC.

2 - 3 months outside the US is not going to affect anything.

Even if she has to stay longer than six months, she may apply for re entry permit. My father stayed only for four week in US after entering on immigrant visa, applied for my brother and left after his bio metrics for re entry permit. he will stay in his home country till my brother gets visa.

As long as your mother in law is in good standing with her green card, this should not be an issue. I have never heard of any such rule that the petitioner has to be physically in USA. Either rumor or it my he context was different.

Good luck
