Thanks so much for your clear and fast response to this - I'm very grateful!

Very grateful to @Shaksaat for previous help on my port of entry questions. I have another and hoped someone might help... I'm the spouse of the green card applicant and we've had our (successful) embassy interview and are awaiting collection of passports. For practical reasons he's hoping to enter the US first, present himself with package etc and get his I551; and then for me to follow say a week or a month later - and get my stamp (I won't have a 'package' and it may all be online anyway). I'm wondering if there are any disadvantages in this plan. I know I won't get my green card stamp until I do but I'd be keen to know whether there are any other potential problems/ pitfalls in not going together.

Had a successful interview and will do a write up in the review section. Just to mention though ... the queue at the Embassy was very, very long. We followed advice here and went straight to the staff on the outside desk and asked if this was the queue for immigrant visas. He told us to go straight inside and though security - with another person in the same boat. That saved a great deal of time. There was a long wait after that (in all we were at the Embassy for 2 hours) but at least we skipped the early bit. Looking ahead ... does anyone know how it works with EB visas (not fiancé visa) if we arrive on different days to the port of entry? I'd like to arrive on a later date to my partner (the main green card applicant) - is everything the same but I just have a delay before getting my green card stamp?
