Hi Jay, No she didn't travel. She stayed back in USA until she received her GC and only then travelled back to Canada. We didn't want to take any risk at all. But I think she could have travelled based on my research. Thanks, Faith and Patience

Hello members, I need some help, my wife got her immigrant visa and we crossed the land border to US. At POE, cbp officers completed the paper work and put admission stamp on my wife's passport. They said we are good and we should receive the physical card in mail. Then I checked with the officer if my wife can travel back to Canada and return to US while waiting for her physical green card, the officer said no. We were really surprised and checked few times and one other officer said we could. I am really confused now, my wife is in US now but she was planning to go back to Canada in a week to wrap up her work and few other things. We are really not sure if we can do this or not now. My wife's visa had a line "upon endorsement serves as I-551 evidence for 1 year". so we assumed once CBP officer put admission stamp, it also could be used as travel document. Could some one please help clarify this for us. Has anyone been in this situation before? Could you please write your experience. Thanks, FaithandPatience
