Hello Guys and Gals.

I have a few Questions:

When arriving from Vietnam to the US on CR1 visa.

Once arrive at POE, which form do the visa holder submit?

I-94 or I-94W?

or any other form?

My wife also said she need to apply for a green card at the airport, is this true?

Any info about this is greatly appreciated,

Thank you very much and have a happy new year.

:-)

The I-94 and I-94w is for folks entering the US on non-immigrant visas. Your wife is arriving on a CR-1 immigrant visa, so she will probably not fill out either.

My brother immigrated two years ago, and he did not have to fill out any paperwork at the airport. CBP screened him and admitted him without further paperwork.

Your wife is arriving on a CR-1 immigration visa. She does not need to apply for a green card. Her passport will receive a I-551 stamp when she enters the US. The I-551 stamp serves as her green card which is valid for one year. About 2-6 weeks after her arrival, she can expect to get the plastic green card in the mail.

Your wife's green card will be a conditional green card. In two years, she will need to apply to remove the condition in order to keep her legal permaent residency status. If she does not remove the condition, she will lose her legal permanent residency status.

You have 90 days prior to the 2 year anniversary to file.
