:star: Hey guys, :star:

Just when you thought i wouldnt post again, here i am. well my husband received the official acceptance letter on monday welcoming him to the usa. the letter says we will receive the residency card in 3 weeks. the problem is i need to travel outside the US and i want my husband to tag along. we both need a vacation. To much stress here in miami. I need to travel next week. Some training im mandatory to go to. Ive heard rumors about being able to receive sometype of stamp in my husbands passport and that we would be able to travel. is thi true? if it is could someone explain to me with details. and if there is any other way for my husband to travel next week? he still hasnt received his card yet. thank you so much

It does't take 3 weeks to receive GC after the Welcome Letter. You had better make it 3-7 days.

You will be able to travel next week with your GC in your pocket, I am very sure. GOOD LUCK !......

yup there is a stamp that is usually given at the interview but based on the interview reviews I am reading some persons do not receive the stamp because the GC is mailed out and received within a week. Hope it will be there in time, just don't buy that ticket until you get it.

Has anyone else received their GC within a week? I hope this is true...

The downside is when you purchase tickets at the last minute, the prices are higher!!!

Did you have an interview?

My husband's green card arrived 3 days after the welcoming letter. The kid's card arrived 7 days after the welcoming letter.

To be on the save side: Make an infopass appointment 2 days before flying out, you probably need to schedule the appointment now!

If you don't get the GC in the mail by then, go to the appointment with the welcoming letter and get the I-551 stamp in the passport. This is like a green card!

If you got the GC by then, just cancel the infopass appointment.

You can book the flights now just be sure you either have the stamp or the GC!

No my husband did not have an interview. he just received the welcoming letter. i already went ahead and made an infopass appointment 2 days before our trip. but the question i have do they stamp your passport only if its an emergency or can it be any situation as a non emergency. thanks for the tip sib!!!
