If I’m in the US right now and am going to receive my temporary green card, can I fly to Italy from the US after opening a visa?
I am a Ukrainian citizen and am going to receive my temporary green card in 4 or 5 months. I am planning to go to Italy several months after that but I have to fly there from the US. Can I do that? And, I know that I have to open a visa in Ukraine, because I am not an American citizen, right?

Once you have a green card, you can travel to Italy. IF you need a visa to enter Italy as a Ukrainian citizen, you will need to do that through the Italian Embassy in the US. You can inquire as to what documentation you will need beforehand so that as soon as you have your green card, you can apply right away for your visa (Schengen) to enter Italy.
