Thank you!  I received my welcome letter 3rd April. .. interview was August 17th.. had missing documents so had to reschedule a new appointment that date was 10th September. . Case was approved on the 10th September but the US Embassy ran out of immigrant visas n we had to wait on their new fiscal year which begins in October. However on the 28th of September we were called to tale in our passports to the embassy n were asked to return on the 2nd October to uplift our visas which we did..  bought our tickets . leaving Sunday the 7th Oct. . What a journey! ! 

Congratulation.

 

Some experience from my trip to the US that I think it is good for all of you.

 

You should pay the immigration fee $220 before or after arriving to the US, so you can get the green card soon. Keep the receipt number after payment, you can also create an account to keep track of your green card status on USCIS. Or check it online when they send the green card.

 

You should note that the waiting time for processing immigration procedure in POE of US Airport is very long, especially from 9 AM - 3 PM and 6 PM - 8 PM. That's why you should book the connecting flight from POE to another US city around 3-4 hour so you will not miss the next flight.

 

In case you miss the flight, just go to the airline desk with your ticket, they will book another flight for free and may be give you a coupon for hotel stay if the next available flight is on the next morning.

 

After arriving the US airport, you should prepare:

- Your passport with US visa

- Your sealed documents from Embassy. If the embassy told you that your document was processed digitally, and you do not need the physical ones, just tell the CBP so he/she can check the system to see your documents online.

- The customs declaration.

 

Remember that the principal application will have to meet CBP first, then derivative spouse/childrens go after.

 

After a long waiting time, you should meet the CBP. Greting him/her with a smile and give them all documents above. They will ask:

- Who is the petitioner? Where does she/he live?

They will look into your document to check if you say correctly. It is not a big deal. Just a procedure so do not worry or nervous.

 

- Where do you want your green card to be sent to?

 

Just tell them your address where you will live or your relatives/friends house, so they can send the green card to you, within 120 days.

 

They do not care if you live in the same address as your DS-260, they just want to check where your green card will be sent to.

 

After processing your documents, they will ask you to take fingerprints and look at the camera to take a picture for green card.

 

Then he/she will stamp I-551, temporary green card on your passport then welcome you to America.

 

After that you can take the luggage and go outside or transfer to another flight.

 

After go to the US, 2-3 days later you can go to SSA office to register for Social number card. Although some people get their SSN card after 2 week automatically but some people have to register in the office. It is up to you.

 

You should bring your passport to USPS post office to register your name in your mailbox. Or the mailman will not deliver your mail. 

 

You should register Informed delivery service of USPS so they will notify you when your green card, SSN card will be sent to your house, so you can take it before package thief stole it.

Hi Akash, 
They will run a CSPA calculation to see if you are eligible when your PD become current. They are working on June 2006 right now so it may be a little more than 20 months. We hope that it will be sooner.

Hello everyone, please I have 2 question to ask, firstly since my dad filed for me under f1 when I wasn't married,  I got married along the way and I later opt out of F1 to f3 when I went for my interview in 2012 . will I pay another visa fee, or the visa fee will only be for my spouse and kids
Secondly how much is the visa fee? 
Thanks
