You can leave the US on the same day you enter with a new CR-1 if you want. We did. Back and forth we went by land the same weekend

Not sure what you mean by "medical" as I assume the medical is all done and submitted before they issue the CR-1 in your passport.

As long as you leave by the expiration on the visa, you're fine. Some people do stay longer due to work or other obligations and have no problems. Typically, the visa is good for 6 months, but check with your own visa to be sure.

If your visa expires in January, then leaving in August should be no problem whatsoever

And I've been doing good

So you can re-enter the U.S. with just the stamp as many times as you like, until the green card arrives? Does anyone know if the green card would have to be mailed to a U.S. address, or could it mailed to an overseas one?

I think it's better to wait for the GC as it just take something like three weeks or one month for the most time. about re-entering the US i don't know. maybe someone can help with this.

Your envelope and/or visa should have an expiration date. Normally with a CR visa you have 90-180 days during which to enter the US. Check the envelope for that expiration date.
