I've been checking for a few days now, and I don't think there's a forum for January 2017 filers yet, so I'm going to start one. I just sent my mom's petition today via Fedex and it should be received

Yayyyy! I'm so happy for you and your mom @bhelle! Your wait is finally over. Are you and your mom coming back here in the US together?

 

Regarding your question, I didn't know about that.. i thought before they leave they will have their permanent resident something in their passport, and when they arrive here in the US, they will get their cards. Sorry, maybe other who are done with the process can answer you. 

Thank you Jennnnnna. You're next, hang in there! Yup we will go back next week! I can't wait..

 I just have a question, why IR5 has only 1 year permission to reside in the US? I am confused! 

 

Nice going behelle.

 

That one year stamp limit is a way to push you to go get your actual greencard, it doesn't mean your status changes.  After 1 year without acquiring the actual card, you would no longer have proof of residency (not a good idea).

So is it 1 year and not 6 months for ir5 visa holders to enter USA once visa is issued?

I believe IR-5 visa holders have 6 months to enter the USA once visa has been issued. You have one year to get you actual green card.

Sorry guys, my internet was down and I 'refuse' to do a lot of internet stuff on my phone.

 

My mom got here safely, after flight delays, them taking her home because of the delays and forgot to pick her back up, so she missed the original flight.  Anyway we got an early flight out the next day.

 

POE - I got her wheelchair assistance, because she has a bad back and didn't want her to go through too much hassle with extra bags etc.  She entered the country at Fort Lauderdale airport.  They wheeled her directly downstairs, immigration asked her for her paperwork.  They examined it.  Told her "welcome to America".  That was that.  Absolutely no questions, no interrogation.

 

Good luck to us all!!!
