When you left the US, did you have Advanced Parole? If not you may find it very hard to re-enter. Your timeline doesn't state if you applied for AP or not, hence my question.

Ah...yeah, hard to read. Then I would guess you show the AP document at the POE when you return to the US.

I'm just wondering though...if he does that, will the approval date on the gc be a problem when she enters the POE since she left before approval...assuming she didn't use her AP documents...since the approval date is most likely AFTER she left the US. So upon reentering, I'm wondering if the CBP will ask her why she has a green card now and not before she left. Does that make sense? Someone else came here asking something along this very line.

I would have guessed the same thing. Just enter the US with the AP document. Enter the same way you would have if you didn't have your GC yet.

I see what you mean. I don't think it's necessary to have your husband bring your GC as it may cause more problems, as KarenCee mentioned.
