How long does your wife intend to stay outside the US?

If she has a conditional green card, the less time that you two spend together, the harder it will be to remove conditions in 2 years.

If she misses her biometric appointment, then the Re-Entry Permit application will be deny.  If she is outside the US, she has to come back for it.  

Good points, also, the expiry date of the re-entry permit would be the same as that of the conditional green card.

Hi !, U.S Consulate in Mumbai approved my Spouse Greencard on April 5th, 2021.  I am an U.S Citizen) . She is planning on coming to the U.S in about 2 months, sometime in June 1st week of 2021. She wanted to stay with me for few months and need to get back to India due to her extended family situation. The question is can he apply reentry only after she entered into the U.S? Once the reentry process started in the U.S, does she have to wait until her reentry permit gets approved? What happens when she leaves and reentry approved while is India? Is it acceptable is it valid only after it is approved she has to leave?

 

Please shed some light on this

Hey! She definitely can apply for reentry permit, she must apply in the US only, she also can ask the USCIS that permit to be sent to the embassy in India, (it's on I131 form, they asking you where you want that permit to be sent to) the only thing is that she can not leave the US up until the point she finishes her biometrics, it must be done in the US, then she can leave, the permit will be sent to the embassy within 3-4 weeks after approval, in my case it took 2 month and 23 days to be approved since applied, hope it helps

And please note, if she got her conditional green card for 2 years (in case your marriage was less than 2 years on the day of your interview) she must apply for I751 90 days before it expires
