Travel On Temporary Green Card

[RubysMom 8]

I understand that the stamp placed in their passports when entering the US, serves as green card until the real deal arrives.  My question is: can they travel from PI to US, go through POE, spend the night, and then proceed to Mexico.  I have a house in Cozumel, Mexico and due to lack of housing in the states until a later date, I wanted to bring them there for a couple of months.

Yes.

Honestly I would check with immigration. Remember if she goes out of the USA before green card they may deny her coming back into the country.

Dont need to do this 

 

once of stay outside the US after entering as LPR will not cause problems. But remember that the LPR status is for living in the US.. so don’t delay getting this sorted and getting them back to the US to live   The stamped visa is all that is needed for reentry. 
Make sure the $220 per person Green card fee is paid and that the address to which the cards are being sent is a safe trustworthy location so that the green cards aren’t returned because they can’t be delivered. Family address and heads up

The I551 stamp in the passport is for all practical purposes a greencard and all rights and privileges are conveyed at that time.  There is zero difference between the stamp and the actual card.
