I was wondering if you can travel back to home country after entering the US on CR-1 visa but before green card is issued. my wife wants to come here use her 30 vacation time from work travel back and work for 1 month then retire tie up loose ends ect. and return back to US would be out of US for 30 days.... Is all about timing. We are waiting for the interview date now. I didn't know if the visa stamp they put in your passport after interview for CR-1 was a one entry or what can use more. I was told green card takes 3 months to get. would rather not lose the vacation time.

Yes, once the visa foil in her passport is endorsed, it acts as an I-551 (green card) for up to 1 year. She'll have no issues leaving the US and returning if its only for 30 days.
