Green Card but no Welcome Letter?

[ryna 132]

My wife received her GC in the mail a week ago today but she never received a separate Welcome Letter like I've seen that others here have. The GC envelope had a 4 pg. pamphlet titled "Welcome to the United States: A Guide for New Immigrants" and the sheet the GC was attached to, but nothing more. I'm thinking this is the only thing she'll receive since it has links to download the entire Welcome Guide from the internet and to a site called "www.welcometousa.gov"

Just want to be sure there's nothing in the Welcome Letter envelope of importance to fill out, send in, etc. (if it is still sent out separately, that is.)

Congrats! My wife received here green card in the mail today...

As far as the welcome letter I don't see anything needed as far as sending something in but the back does say that in future correspondence a copy should be sent.. Probably not important. I've included a copy as an attachment of both sides here:

We got the welcome letter a few days after the GC so maybe it's on its way

Thanks. She certainly hasn't received anything that looks like an NOA. We'll wait a while longer to see if it arrives. The important thing is that the GC is here.

My mother received the same letter with a "welcome" booklet. Haven't received anything else.

I think the actual welcome NOA is mailed to people who did their AOS through CP. If the AOS is based in the US, you won't get the welcome NOA. At least I didn't get and the people I know.

I got a notice few days ago that my gc has been mailed to our address and I didn't receive any welcome letter yet

[ryna 132]

Now that I read it more closely, it does seem like it applies to those who arrive in the U.S. with an immigrant visa and GC already approved and that those who entered on K-1s don't receive one after AOS.

My wife and stepson entered on K-1 and K-2 visas, respectively, and we did not receive any welcome letters. We did receive the welcome pamphlet directing us to the USCIS website for the extensive welcome booklet/presentation.

Congratulations!

I received one and I AOSd from a K1 (though it was in 2010)
