Dear all,

 

My wife' visa was issued 10 days ago but due to the travel restriction it's still got stuck in the consulate region..

Anyhow, I was wondering what do I need to prepare before my wife enter the US before June like immigrate fees on USCIS website? Does she need to schedule an appoint for finger print?

Sorry I might sound dumb but I would need some advice on this, thanks and stay safe there everyone!

You need to pay the $220 Immigrant fee after the visa has been received.  The actual green card will not be produced until both the following have taken place:

 

1.  $220 immigrant fee paid

2.  Immigrant has entered the US

 

The fee can be paid either before or after she has entered the US, but the card will not be sent until it has been paid.  You can pay the fee here:

She does not need to make any appointments.

Hello Lucky,

 

Due to my family reason, she needs to take settle down her own stuff before moving. Doesn't she need to get a finger print before departing the states? 

No, where are you getting this?

YMMV

I have heard this from somewhere online.

 

So there is no need to get a finger print and just pay for the fees and  enter any port of entry in U.S. (Could it be any? The reason why I am asking is because of the current pandemic situation).

Then she can basically return the next day? Sorry, please correct me if I am wrong.
