Entering US on Immigration Visa, then leave again

I am a US citizen living with my husband in his home country right now. I had applied for family based green card for him and he received his immigrant visa earlier this year, and it expires in November. We had originally planned to return to the United States in the beginning of November before it expires. However due to a sudden change of his work, he might need to return to his home country again, most likely before he is able to receive his green card (which I understand would take a couple of months to arrive after we return to the US).

I am trying to find out: 1. Is my husband allowed to leave the US before he can receive his green card? 2. Is there a minimum time requirement of how long he has to stay in the US before he is allowed to leave? 3. For example, if he only stays in the US for a few days in November,, then return to his home country to finish his work, then return to US again in December, would this be allowed? 4. Do I need to travel with him?

Thank you for any advice.

N-400 form {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} message

A few questions: I filed my N400 naturalization on March 23, 2020. Nearly one year later on Feb 2021 they sent me a notice that they'll reuse my biometrics from my green card application, but they won't refund the biometric fee! At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...

NVC Case FE Review note

Hi everyone, my family and I are under the F3 category and we just received a notice from NVC that our documents have been approved and that we are Documentarily Qualified. My only concern is this message that we received today in addition to the acceptance: ​ " [Name of petitioner] does not meet the minimum income requirement to sponsor the intending immigrants for this case. The consular officer will make a decision regarding this requirement at the time of the interview. For more information, please visit https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p . To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 for a joint sponsor may be submitted." ​ We already have a petitioner and a household sponsor (the household sponsor's income is above the required level), but still unsure why we received this. Has anyone else received this message? All of our documents say "Approved" on NVC. Does this mean we have to find another sponsor? Can we show the consular officer our ...
