After POA...................

[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?

1. When he arrives at the point of entry, they will stamp his passport with (EAD Stamp or something else)? I-94 Arrival/Departure Record.

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

Takes a couple of weeks - will come automatically

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

See #2.

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

It is supposed to come automatically (in a couple of weeks) but often times folks will go down to 'apply' for one in person.

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

Nope

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

Nope - that's about it - relax and enjoy life in the mean time.

Quick Question:

Does the immigration officer at POA give you the green card? Someone told me they do, but I dont think thats correct? They won't have your PR/Green Card at the POE.

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

AP won't be needed.

1. When he arrives at the point of entry, they will stamp his passport with (EAD Stamp or something else)? I-94 Arrival/Departure Record. Not true - CR1 visa does NOT receive I-94 - they are treated as new immigrants and their visa is stamped with the admission stamp that has their visa type - CR-1 and date of admission. This turns the visa into 1-yr GC - or until the real one arrives.

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

Takes a couple of weeks - will come automatically

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

Nope I would still chech what the SSA office says on what you need to bring. look up ssa.gov and the apply for a new SSN card - gives you a list of what you need to bring in.

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

Nope - that's about it - relax and enjoy life in the mean time.

So on the plane (arrival to USA), the immigrnat only has to fill out the customs declaration form? Not the I-94 or anything else?

Ali

[milimelo 4,548]

Right, just the green customs form. They'll probably make you take an I-94 but you can return it to them as you are a new immigrant and don't need it.
