My parents came in to US june 14th and they got their greencards in the mail 1 month later.
Though the card says residents since June 14th this year.

They wanted to go back to Sweden and stay for 32 days  to pick up some more of their stuff leaving Dec 14th.
Meaning they will leave on the day where it would have been in US for 6 months. Is this ok?
I'm worried they might be denied entry for some reason. I might jsut be be paranoid but I heard it's best to stay for a while before traveling.

 

Though 1 month is not thaaat long, considering they are new greencard holders it might be a bit of an issue?
Any advice?
Thank you so much!!!

They could have left the day they entered. LPR status is conferred the moment they enter the US when entering in their immigrant visa. The need to meet ongoing requirements for LPR are not voided by the sort of travel plans you have described.. .

No issues.  Exactly where did you hear that it is best to stay a while before leaving.  I am interested in knowing where that garbage misinformation comes from.

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
