Hi guys! I just got my green card in mail today (11/28/15). I don't have any IDs yet besides from this green card and my Philippine passport. We're going to the SSA to get an SSN and also maybe this week apply for a driver's license. But, what are the other things that I should do after getting this card?

And also, do you have any advice on declaring my marriage in the Philippine embassy?

Thank you!

In all seriousness, you should start building your joint accounts and building credit history by getting a joint credit card and/or other loans.

OP adjusted status from a K1 visa. They did not do the same process as you according to your profile.

Reporting your marriage to the Philippines Consulate is optional. Chinook finally reported our marriage to the Philippines Consulate after she became a U.S. citizen. She did so because it was a requirement in order to reacquire her Filipino citizenship.
