Can you visit/stay in another country before you enter the US as permanent resident?

Hello,

 

I have my interview in December in India, and wanted to know if I could travel back to UAE (where I am currently working) before entering the US if my visa is approved. 

I would have to serve my one month notice period before moving out of UAE. I want to know if staying in another country, other than your home country, is accepted before flying to the US or not?

All I could find in the websites were that you would have to enter the US before the visa expires.

 

Please help if anyone know about this. 

 

Thank you!!

All I could find in the websites were that you would have to enter the US before the visa expires. - This is really what matters

 

Please help if anyone know about this.

Yes.  
 

Besides which not all countries have non stop flights to the U.S.  

 

You planning to go to U.S. via Abu Dhabi?

No, I am currently working in Dubai. So I would have to come back to Dubai to serve my one month notice period before moving out of the country. 

I wanted to know if that is ok? Staying in another country that is not your home country before entering the US.
