I hope this doesn't sound too complicated!
I want to first state that my husband and I filed his I-130, I-864, and other immigration papers at a US Embassy overseas (where we are currently living).
My husband was approved for his IR-1 immigrant visa to move to the US. The problem is that he is a pilot and is maintaining his current job until he can finish converting his license from ICAO to FAA. (He doesn't have that much to do, but currently he is waiting on the FAA to verify his foreign license so he can do this.) As soon as he gets his license converted he is going to apply to airlines in the US for a job.
The Embassy told us that this is fine and there should be no problems with his circumstances.
My question is this:
Because he will still be maintaining his job outside of the US at first, he will most likely need to leave before he receives his Green Card (I heard it can take months to receive). Will I need to send his Green Card to him in the mail, or is there anything else he will need to have/do when he enters the US the next time?
