Hi vjs

I got this Friday a notification from DHS,gov that my case of AOS was approved and by this Wednesday I got a notice of approval by mail.

Again before writing this post I check my account on USCIS and it says that my Green card have been picked by USPS post and they gave me a tracking number after checking it shows expected delivery by Friday 20 July.

i am so happy and I wish every body the same. the only thing is what now? is there another steps to do ? do I have to stamp my passport somewhere?is the stamp on the passport mandatory? what about the social security card: mine is says authorized to work only with DHS authorization, so what shall I do now.?

I really need advice and thank you so much for the help.

Nothing is required until ROC (assuming your AOS was approved prior to the 2 year anniversary of your marriage).

No passport stamp is needed...your physical green card will arrive in the mail.

 

You are not required to update your Social Security card to remove that language, but it is suggested to do so prior to ROC.

Timelines:

ROC:

Update ss card to remove language that you can only work with DHS work authorization (EAD). 

 

Read the now that you are legal permanent resident guide on USCIS.gov and know what you can and can't do (voting is a big no no and make sure you're not signed up to vote in the process of getting your green card). 

 

If male, verify you're registered with selective service so no issues come naturalization time (if in 18-26 age bracket when green card was approved). 

 

Start saving now for ROC and N-400 fees. Same for evidence for ROC - put a box on top of the fridge and drop papers that can be used as ROC evidence as they come in   

ROC 2009
Naturalization 2010

Hi, sorry for the long answer ,

I was a little busy

For the Algerian visa it is easy and quick, my wife actionally got and it was not a hassle for her

so what to do is submit the following documents:
 Invitation letter form n Algerian host  notarized at the city hall in Algeria (I can give you a copy if you want )
 A copy of round trip flight ticket;( ask your host to go to a travel agency and ask for a free confirmation of flight ticket they provide it for free but cancelled right after you leave agency)
employment letter
 Passport hard copy and a copy of the first page. The passport should be valid for at least six months;
 $160 money order, we accept ONLY USPS money orders; 
 Two (02) copies of application form (Download) . from the embassy website Please fill out the editable PDF application form on screen, print it and then date and hand sign it. On each copy, please glue a photo on the box reserved for it at the upper right side of the form. The photos should be US passport photos, 2 x 2 inches or 51 x 51 mm.
 You can apply in person, bit I advise you to send your application through UPS  directly to the Consulate General.

after six days you will have a visa stamped
