lol .. umm well , i guess m at a wrong forum here confusing everyone ! i paid for Green card which i am yet to receive and social security number which i dont have yet ! without these i cant start working or driving or do anything. m basically sitting m on my A all day waiting

I know how u feel , I'm a person that actually enjoys working and getting out of the house ,

To keep myself busy I just clean and organize my husbands house (he can be a pack rat, he keeps EVERYTHING LOL) plus I also cook him lunch,dinner and other times I take a walk around the neighbourhood to see what is around me, catch up on my fav shows and on weekends when husband is not busy we go to the movies and go out with friends

Welcome to the club we have to apply for a green card and work visa and travel visa we can't do anything until we receive those which can take up to ninety days after filing !

I wish for us it was only $165 also

Ditto that would be nice for sure !

I wish I could help you, but did you not get a I-551 stamp in your passport? I thought they were stamping the CR-IR passports at the POE. Mind you I am not an expert and you should look for someone who went through the same process as you.

(OFF GOOGLE; The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) calls the Form I-551, the United States Permanent Resident Card. It is also known as the Green Card or Alien Registration Card.)

And I am going stir crazy here. Moved on June 22nd, my daily routine was fine at 1st, but now I am done with it. Thank God I am going to Florida next month.

Good for You ! lol . considering the fact that i am not a Girl ! it is very very difficult for a guy like me who never sat at home all his life and lived independent throughout ! Had my own nice car and house back home. and now suddenly m in a different country with nowhere to go, nowhere to look. my american dream seems to be distant reality !

OH yes they did stamp smthin on my passport on arrival ! i dont know what that means it says smthin valid for two years ! what does that mean ? would that stamp serve as a temporary green card ? but i would still need a social security number isnt it ?

As I said, I am no CR/IR expert haha, I went through the K1. I think the card will be sent to you as you filed the form.

And I think it could be the stamp. Were you CR1 or IR1? CR gives you a 2 year green card and IR gives you a 10 year. I would suggest to look and ask on visa journey about people who came here on a CR1 Visa

Then you should be good! As I said, get in touch with other member who came here on a CR1/IR1, it will help you a lot.
