Do you mean a CR-1 visa for your spouse?

It can take up to three months to get the physical greencard, but you already have the "greencard"; the endorsement stamp on the visa page in the passport acts as a temp greencard for a year.

If that's the case, why should people wait until they receive their "green card" before they start any activity? (school, work,...)

I need some clarification, pls.

They don;t have to.

Maybe you man the Social Security Card? Most employers etc will ant to have your SSN before allowing you to start work.
