Visa in hand- 4 Days (Jamaica)

[ToAliwithLove 0]

So, we received the VISA. We are soooooo happy. Very quick!So next steps.

Please tell me if the operational process for the next steps in correct.

1. When he arrives at the point of entry, they will stamp his passport with ________________________ (EAD Stamp or something else)?

2. We dont dont have to apply for the conditional greencard, it will come to us automatically, my mail?

3. For those of you that did get it by mail, how long did it take to come, from POA?

4. Go to the Social Security Office to apply for SS Card?

5. Do we need to bring anything besides the passport to the SS office?

6. Once the conditional green card is received we relax until 90 days before expiration date then we remove conditions?

Quick Question:

Does the immigration officer at POA give you the green card? Someone told me they do, but I dont think thats correct?

Does he need an AP to travel or the green card is enough?

Did DHL deliver it to your husband's home or did he pick it up from one of their locations? If he picked it up, was it in Montego Bay or Kingston?

I'm hoping ours will be ready in 4 days too, so that my fiance can fly back with me 5 days after the interview.

The only question I can answer is that you don't need Adanced Parole if you have a greencard.

NatPatPen,

DHL delivered it to the Montego Bay DHL Location (not his home).

We figured it was the safest and he went there to pick it up.

Note: You can track the shipment online through DHL, as well. If your looking to get it quicker, I say, have the embassy deliver it to the DHL Location in Kingston.

The reason why I say this, as I was tracking the package on the DHL website it appeared that it was processed at the Embassy the same day as our interview and arrived at the DHL Kingston location the next day. From Kingston it said next day shipping to Montego Bay, but it actually took two extra days.

Hope that helped.

So, we received the VISA. We are soooooo happy. Very quick!So next steps.

Please tell me if the operational process for the next steps in correct.

1. When he arrives at the point of entry, they will stamp his passport with ________________________ (EAD Stamp or something else)? Yes they will stamp his passport with Date of Entry and I believe it states I-551 which means he is eligible to work but since he is coming in on a CR-1 visa he is automically a permanent resident and will get his SSN# in the mail.

2. We dont dont have to apply for the conditional greencard, it will come to us automatically, my mail? Yes, it will automatically come to you by mail.

3. For those of you that did get it by mail, how long did it take to come, from POA? It took my hubby 1 month to get his permanent resident card.

4. Go to the Social Security Office to apply for SS Card? My hubby had no problem receiving his SSN and we didn't have to go to the SS office to apply...hubby actually got his SSN two weeks after POE in the mail.

5. Do we need to bring anything besides the passport to the SS office? Not sure never had to do this. On the DS-230 there was a box you check requesting to submit application for SSN so you don't have to go to the SS office...if you checked it you should get your SS card by mail...but i have seen a few people having to go the SS office even though the box was checked...We were fortunate that we didn't have to

6. Once the conditional green card is received we relax until 90 days before expiration date then we remove conditions? Correct!!!!!

Quick Question:

Does the immigration officer at POA give you the green card? Someone told me they do, but I dont think thats correct? Nope you get it in the mail...

Does he need an AP to travel or the green card is enough? Green card and passport is all you need to travel

Bless you StoneLove

This site is the best

Thanks so much guys! I agree this site is the greatest. And very efficient when it comes to retrieving timely and accurate information. So this leads to another question in which I need a little more clarification. Currently right now he has a visa that expires in 6 months in his passport. In a month or so he is going to get his permanent resident card. Is there going to to anything stamped in his passport saying he 's a permenent resident once that 6 month visa expires?

1. the passport will be stamped.

2. It will come in one to two months.

3. one to two months

4. We went to social security office to get the card. Ours some how did not come.

5. Bring passport, birth certificate and wedding certificate. Go Early before the thing opens. THere was a line outside the door when we went. After we went and got approved. We got our cards in a week. I got one two because I finally changed my name.

6. DANCE cause you are then done for 2 years or 90 days before he entered to apply for the 10 year card. He then can get a job go to school or get his drivers licenses and your all set.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Nothing Stamped in the passport. If you want to leave and visit Jamaica. He just needs to bring his passport and green card. When you file for the 10 year card and don't have a card later on down the road. You can still travel with the passport and the goverment paper saying that his application has been extended until he recevies the 10 year card. Besides that your really basically done with the hardest part of paper work.
