Can IR1 visa holder (first time) travel to the US if their spouse is not present at the moment in the US?

Also, is it advisable to apply for re-entry permit after receiving physical green card? Or we can apply for the re-entry permit while my green card is on the way? Actually I am in the middle of the contract and can't stay in the US for long time, so I am thinking to save some time and apply for re-entry permit and get it ASAP.

Thank you

Nope.  USC spouse must either already be in the US, or travel with the immigrant.

 

Green card is for living in the US-  if you are living and working elsewhere, you risk losing it.
