im here at NAIA airport

[nbfsb 1]

hello.. i am already here in las vegas and its very cold.. i had no probs encountered in immigration and customs but ang dami passengers.. after you left immigration, is the passport the only document left to you? am i missing something?

You shou;d also have your x-ray cd and a letter regarding your greencard. Your passport will be your temporary green card since you're IR-2.

what letter? after the interview with an immigration officer, by the way they looked like police officers, they just let me signed on the white medium sized card plus thumb mark. they told me that i shall receive my GC within 3mo-1 yr.. but no letter..

A letter stating that you'll be receiving your green card in four months. In my case I received my GC within two weeks. Average is one month. Anyway, just wait for your GC and the number written beside your visa is already your Alien Certificate of Registration number. Also, you'll be receiving welcome letter in the mail within a week or so. Meantime you can already apply for a Social Security Number and then apply for a driver's license state id. Just check also when you can already apply for US citizenship. For IR-1 applicants, we can already apply for citizenship within three years instead of the usual five. And in the meantime, you are not allowed to vote as this means deportation.

thanks JR..

i actually cant sleep. i think my body is still adjusting of the time zone here or just getting excited.. hehehe . maybe POE's have different ways of welcoming immigrants?!
