My husband got a visa in august and will be able to travel to USA with visa expiration of feb 2017, however he wants to visit pakistan to his parents before he enters USA .

Do you think it is advisable ? will it create a problem when entering USA for the first time ? He was given a package to hand over to the US immigration officers which is unopened.

Thanks in advance

Yes he can visit. do it before he enters the states, because after he enters the States, he cannot leave the States for 2 years. just make sure he doesn't open the packet he is suppose to give the immigration officer.

That is absolutely NOT true.

The husband will get a greencard upon entry to the USA, and can work and travel right away.

It is the immigration rules I guess. He has to stay in the states for 2 years before he could travel any where. It applies to everyone.

Just to mention that he will be entering the states on a spouse visa and the day he enters he will be a permanent resident , I know that he will have to wait for green card for a maximum Of 120 days after he enters , before we contact them about not receiving the green card .

No I doubt it's true

I myself traveled out of USA before I received my green card , I was studying in a school and so had to return , also I traveled back and forth every 6 months to maintain my green card . So just from my own experience I doubt it's true
