Guys, I had a quick question! I got my CR1 visa and I'm planning on travelling to the US by next week.

I know that the greencard takes a while to come, will there be a problem in travelling out of the country(USA) before I receive my greencard in hand? Will I be able to enter back into the US using jus the IV stamped in my passport..?

Your endorsed (stamped) passport with the CR-1 visa IS your Green Card until the plastic one arrives.  Traveling out and in before you receive the plastic card is perfectly fine....

Nigerians on this thread, how are you doing?

I had my interview on 6th, i was asked to provide a joint Sponsor even though my wife's income is above poverty guidelines and also she has money. I'm shocked

Consulate Officers look at the totality of the situation.  The poverty guidelines are just a starting point to be considered......income above the poverty level doesn't guarantee approval.

How about assets for income. I thought assets can be substituted for income

Yes, they can be considered......but is still a judgement call by the Consulate Officer.
