Hi

Green Card has been approved for my parents in India and their passports have been and they have also received two sealed envelops to be shown at the port of Entry.

Now they are coming to US next month. After coming here they would like to visit India for few weeks.

So, my question is:

1. After landing at airport, how long will it take to receive the Green Card in mail?

2. Can they travel without having a Green Card? Can they be issued any temporary permit for traveling?

Thanks in Advance......

Regards
 
LOL!! So right after they get the GC, they will enter the US and want to leave to go right back??

I wish some people who really want a GC and live here would get their GC's instead.
 
Well, there are many things you have to packup when you leave one country and start a new life in new country.

For packing up you may have to do like this............. :)

That's why they give you six months to use the visa, and since it's an IR case it's only a few months from start to finish. One can start the preparations before the interview.....

----------------They can get the stamp in passport from Local USCIS(they should go with infopass) it is better to wait for the Card and then go

When they reach US airport they will show the immigrant visa or sealed envelops at POE and officer will take the Index fingerprint and signature on white form and your parents should write the US address (GC will be sent to that address) and will send that form for Card production unit. USCIS may send the Card in one month to US address.

Wait for the Card before they go out.
OR
they can get Stamp in passport from Local USCIS(stamp may be valid only for 3 months or 2 months or 6 months).
 
Your parents will get the stamp (I-551) on their passport at the US port of entry when they arrive in the us. This stamp is equivalent to plastic permanent resident card (I-551) and valid for 1 year. They won't have any problems at the POE as long as they have passport with the stamp. They will also receive the plastic permanent resident card known as a green card in mail.
