Processing time for Green Card after migrating to USA

Good Day,

I am a new member and this is my first post. My location is Switzerland. My wife is US citizen and I just got the US immigration visa. My question is, after entering US, in how many days will I get the Physical Green Card? Is it possible to exit US without the Physical Green Card (assuming that its still under process)?

Your response in this manner is highly appreciable.

The physical green card should arrive within 30 days.

When you arrive in the US with the immigrant visa, you will get an I-551 stamp in your passport, which is the temporary equivalent of a green card, and it will allow you to travel in and out of the US.
