Green Card Fee

[pogingolsen 2]

Hi All,  mMy wife and son already have their visa stamped on their Passport already. They are set to enter us this Feb 2nd. My questions are:

 

Do I still need to pay for their Greed Card? Or do I just wait until it comes in the mail? 

If I still need to pay, where and how do I do this? 

 

Thank you so much for reading this.

You must pay the $220 Green Card fee for them before they will receive the actual cards.  Payment can be made either before or after arrival in the US, but the cards will not be produced and mailed until the fee is paid.  You pay the fee here: https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee/

A visa is different than a green card. A visa does not mean they are permanent residents. A visa is to enter the US legally.

 

You will not get the green card until you pay for it. It will not just magically show up.

 

Use this link below to find out how to pay.

Thank you so much for the answers missileman and NuestraUnion. One question please. Is there a way for me to check if this is paid already? Like an online checker tool?

How do you not know if it was already paid? Follow the steps on the links provided above, and or log into your my uscis account to check for the status of their green cards. They won't be in production or ready if they weren't paid for. The visa fee is separate from the $220 per green card/ immigrant fees.

Green card isn't coming in the mail until the government gets their $$$$  .
