My husband received his visa May 28th, but we waited until just after our 2 year anniversary to enter. We entered yesterday at JFK Airport in NY. We asked the first woman we saw in the customs area where to go...she said to the main visitors line & that I could go with him, which was great! Then we reached a second woman & she directed us to the first time visitors line. As we approached the officer he greeted us by saying hello in Turkish! We were so surprised! He was so nice, asked if we had the sealed envelope...we said no & showed the paper we had that said our case was electronic. He said ok great. He processed my passport first very quickly. Then had my husband do his fingerprints on the machine & take a photo. I told him that our 2 year anniversary just passed & it should be an IR-1 green card...he said ok no problem. Then he stamped the passport & said this is good for one year & the passport will come within one year. The whole thing took less than 5 minutes!! So our visa journey is officially over...on to the next adventure together!!

Congrats but just to correct something, he will not receive a US passport. He will get the 10 yr green card. He will have to apply for naturalization when the time comes to be able to apply for a US passport.

Oops yes, that's what I meant...his green card can take up to a year to receive. Thanks for catching that! I will edit my post!

Meant to say his green card will come within one year, not passport!

At the interview they gave my husband a white sheet of paper with one small paragraph explaining that the case was part of the new system. The officer didn't really look at it. He didn't ask any other questions, it was very quick. I'm not sure why they say it can take up to a year, but the visa acts as the green card for one year, so maybe that's why they say that...cuz they really don't know how long it will take!

Congrats and thanks for the info!  

 

We haven't decided if my husband would use JFK or PHL when that time comes.   I always use JFK when traveling to visit him because of the layovers from Philly but thats because I don't want extra travel time on vacation but for him coming home Philly would be less of a drive for me.  Nice to see JFK was a pretty smooth entry for you both!

Yes, at the embassy he received that paper. We plan on going to the social security office soon to see if he's been put in the system yet. Hopefully it won't take too long to get the social security number.
