My husband's I-751 has just been approved and the notice stated that he should receive his new green card in a couple of weeks. So now what? A green card doesn't mean he's a U.S. citizen. What do we do next in order to get him his citizenship? Is there a waiting period to file other documentation for this after the conditions have been removed via the I-751 filing? Also, he has family members he's wanting to get residency for. They are in the U.S. illegally. Can he do this with his green card or does he have to wait for actual citizenship? Any information will help!!TIA

Not a citizen, no - a LPR - new card will be valid for 10 years.

Citizenship is of course not required but if he choses to seek it, he can apply for it as soon as 90-days before his 3 year anniversary date of his residency (Residence Since date on either his old or new card is the start date). This is of course IF he is still married to the US Citizen who's marriage-to his residency is based on.

He will have to wait until he's a US citizen so he can file for them. You can check this information in the instructions for form I-130 and also see how long it may take in the Visa Bulletin from the DOS.

There is no need to post this question in more than one forum. I have removed the duplicate post.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Not necessarily - usually one forum/thread is enough.

LPR = Legal Permanent Resident (also PR, Permanent Resident); aka Green Card holder. Edited by Otto und Karin

You don't get more responses in more threads - it just gets lost and people end up duplicating information or ignoring all of the threads because they won't take them seriously, and the moderators receive reports about unnecessary duplicated threads which we then have to go and close. So, if you wish for the most efficient method of getting the correct information, you post in the correct forum and and don't spread the same question over a number of places.

Agreed!!!! There is a member out there with about a million and one open threads... I don't even open her threads anymore. She asks questions multiple times and often could very easily read the posts on the first two pages to get the answers herself.

by illegally do you mean "overstay" or entered without inspection?

YMMV
