Next Steps after Husband Enter US on CR1 Visa

[KemalTuanaYalcin 16]

Hi all,

My husband recently received his visa and will be entering the US later this month. My question is what exactly are the next steps that we need to take once my husband arrives? Do we start the process towards naturalization or do we work towards extending his permanent residency first? Additionally, we requested his SSN card to be issued and mailed upon visa approval, is that sent automatically or do we have to send proof that he has entered the US?

Thanks for your time!

**** Moving from Bringing Family to ROC (removal of Conditions) forum, as this will be the next major step for OP ****

You will need to Remove Conditions two years after he enters the USA on his CR-1: http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide

He will get his greencard and SSN in the mail a few weeks after he arrives. If the SSN hasn't arrived after a month, or if you need it earlier, you can go to a Social Security Office 10+ days after his arrival and they can issue it there. The physical greencard often takes longer than a month to arrive, but at the airport he will get a stamp in his passport which acts as a temp greencard for a year so he can work, travel etc.
