Travel to US with Green Card Visa

[GreenUsa 0]

Hi, I'm Green Card holder and my wife have got Green Card visa (FX1 category) in March, which expires in August, 

Is such visa means residency status? ("Upon endorsement, serves as temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year")

Can she travel to US with me? Planning to flight from Georgia through Amsterdam.

Thank you

Right now going through Amsterdam is a bad idea.  Need to wait for schengen travel ban be lifted

She isn't a permanent resident until she's admitted to the USA, where they'll stamp her passport, thereby "endorsing it" and allowing the passport with the stamp and visa to act like her green card for 1 year. I assume you mean you're flying out of the country of Georgia through Amsterdam. While there is travel ban for people who have been in a schengen country within the last 14 days, which would include Netherlands, there is an exception to spouses of citizens and permanent residents, so it sounds like you both should be ok to travel together.

 

From the text of the executive order https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/proclamation-suspension-entry-immigrants-nonimmigrants-certain-additional-persons-pose-risk-transmitting-2019-novel-coronavirus/

"(a)  Section 1 of this proclamation shall not apply to:

(i)     any lawful permanent resident of the United States;

(ii)    any alien who is the spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident;"
