Alhamdulillah it was very easy and nice

I went to the immigration officer and submitted him my passport and brown envelop, he saw them and asked me to come with him. He then took me to another room and asked me to have a seat and another officer will complete my immigration formalities. About half an hour later another immigration officer came and took all my papers in his hand then he opened the brown envelope and looked at all the papers. I am sure he is very new for the immigration things, so he was searching for some instructions from his files but he couldn’t find what he will do for my immigration. Then he just put an arrival stamp on my passport and asked me to give him my wife’s contact no. incase if he needs anything later on. I gave him my wife’s contact no. then he told me, ok all done now u can go and meet your wife.

As much as I knew from visa journey, the immigration officer is suppose to put another stamp on my passport as I came with a CR-1 visa. He just put the usual arrival stamp. So is there any one here that can tell me, what is the stamp the officer has put on your passport when you or your spouse came thru customs and Immigrations at the point of entry into the United States with the CR-1 visa?

Brother my husband only got one stamp and it states CR1 inside his passport. He got his ss card last Monday and his green card arrived yesterday for 2 yrs. Good luck.
