Good day to all. I am under IR1 category from Philippines. I pick up my visa already yesterday October 21, 2016. When I check my visa it says "UPON ENDORSEMENT AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR". What does this mean?

Now my husband want to pay my greencard before I fly to USA this coming November 9, 2016. How can he able to pay it? Where can he pay it? And how much?

I hope anyone can help me understand and enlighten me regarding the matter. Thank you.

What that statement means, is that when you enter the USA with your visa, the CBP will stamp your passport page beside the visa. This "endorses" the visa and turns it into a temporary green card valid for 1 year. You can use this to leave the country, as proof you can work, as proof you legally reside in the USA, as anything you would use the hard copy green card for.

The other poster gave you links where you can pay the $165 immigrant fee that produces the hard copy green card. You should get this in about 3-6 months.


To clarify, a green card is an I-551.
