My husband visa was finally approved .

Thank you so much to all the members for all the help.

We start our process Nov 2012 and it was approved Feb 2014 (Montreal CA Consulate) .

Quick question. We would love to take a vacation in the Caribbean, can my husband travel outside of the USA before he gets his residency??

Does your husband have a NEXUS card or any WHTI travel document?

I would check with what ever boat liner you are going to use and ask them for sure.

Hi has your husband received his passport back from the embassy & entered the US yet? If he has did the CBP Officer who prossesed his paper work stamp his passport with an I-551 it's a temporary Green Card.

That's right! Upon endorsement the visa stamp in your passport serves as temporary evidence of permanent resident status for 1 year. Once he gets his passport back from the consulate and he gets it stamped by the POE then he is all good to go!

He has his passport back but he still in Canada, He would come to USA March 22 and Im planning a Vacation for April 4.

At the POE , Di they always stamp the passport with an I-551???

Thank you

Yes they do as it's his evidence of residency until he gets his Green Card in the post. Have you paid the $165 USCIS Immigration fee yet?.

At the bottom of the visa is the following notation: Upon Endorsement Serves As Temporary I-551 Valid For One Year.

The "endorsement" is a standard CBP entry stamp that is placed on the page next to the visa itself, this combination is what acts as the temporary green card.

Hi Alexa, well I will try & direct you to the page on the www.USCIS.gov web site, once you are on the main page click on the heading TOOLS then click the heading "how do I customer" guide then click "how do I pay the USCIS immigration fee" & you will see a PDF on what to do, I hope this helps sorry it's a bit of a long answer lol.
