Hi. I’m currently in the process of being sponsored for a marriage based immigrant visa to the United States. My immigrant visa approval is probably in the distant future but I’m confused about the process after getting approved at the consulate.
I understand that the immigrant visa is a one time entry visa (valid for 6 months). I’ll get a temporary green card at the port of entry and my SSN will arrive 1-3 weeks after this (and the permanent green card arrives in the mail 4 months later).
My question is - Can I leave the country for a few weeks after receiving my temporary green card at the port of entry? I live in Canada and I would like to return to Canada while waiting to be approved to work in the US and move all of my stuff over several weeks.
