Immigrant spouse traveling to the US before moving the USC Spouse

[jenyadenise 4]

Hi, I'd appreciate any feedback on this potential situation. I am the USC and my husband's CR-1 visa was just approved. We are both living in Mexico and are planning to move to the States within the next couple months. I'm wondering... if he has a job interview in the US before we move together, can he travel in and out of the US while I'm still here in Mexico (before we make our permanent move)? Will he have a problem at the POE? I will certainly travel with him if necessary but we're just wondering if it's necessary. Anyone have any insight about this? Thanks!!

Your husband shouldn't have any issues traveling in and out of the US while looking for work even if you yourself are still in Mexico. Just so long as your husband doesn't remain outside the US for two long a period between visits.

Hello there jennyadenise,

Hope you are doing well. I am going through exactly the same situation as you and was wondering if you could tell me how it all went down for you. Was he able to enter the US before you for his interview?

Thanks

Hi laucs72!!

Sorry for my delayed reply! From the research we did two years ago, we concluded that I was supposed to be either in the US before him or traveling together with him when he entered the US for the first time. So, we entered the US together for his job interview and then went together back to Mexico. We stayed in Mexico for close to 2 months before making the permanent move to the US. It turned out to be helpful for me to travel with him because while he was interviewing, I was checking out the área and looking at possible living accomodations. And, by the time we arrived the second time, his SS Card and Green Card had already been processed.

I hope this helps!
