I have got a US immigration visa (temporary, based on EB-5) stamped on my passport from the US embassy. After this, I am planning to travel to US soon. After landing in the US, after one week, can I (along with my kid, derivative) travel out of of the US for 3 months, without getting a hard copy of my green card (as it will take more time) or do I need to apply for advance parole?

Find an EB-5 Visa Lawyer: Immigration AttorneyIf you have a valid immigrant visa stamp in your passport, this will be sufficient for you to reenter after a three-month absence. You cannot get advance parole since that is not for permanent residents.
