I am currently in the US on an F1 visa. My wife is a US citizen.
I am graduating this summer and have taken a job overseas. I plan to work
there for about 4 or 5 years. During that time, we plan to travel to the US
at least once a year. I was told that travel back to the US with my wife (a
US citizen) would be
problematic because of my non-immigrant status.
Should I :
1. Apply for GC before I leave, I have heard one can get the temporary GC in
boston on the same day as one hands in the application.
2. Apply for the GC in a third country (where I will be working). How long
does this take ?
Will it let me travel to the US with my wife ?
Thanks for all help!

I don't think this is possible at any BCIS office anywhere

You are right. My bad. Does anyone know how long it takes to get the GC in
Boston ?
