So now that Stewart is here on his CR-1, what do we do now? Do we need to do anything? He already has a SS card (it has his number and says requires proper work authorization which he has now).

Do we have to do anything to get the green card or it just shows up? What about adjusting to make him a PR instead of CR - maybe I can read this somewhere but I thought Id ask the pros first!

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

Glad to hear everyone is home now. :D

1. SS card he will need to go to office and have them change the status.

2. Green card should come in the mail within weeks.

And not sure of your other questions. Good luck

So now that Stewart is here on his CR-1, what do we do now? Do we need to do anything? He already has a SS card (it has his number and says requires proper work authorization which he has now).

Stewart should visit uscis.gov and look for the How Do I Page called "Now That You Are a Permanent Resident". It will explain his rights and responsibilities as a PR, and what to do if he has conditions on his PR status.

His SSA account needs to be updated with his new status; if he ticked the 'yes' box on DS-230, it should get updated automagically. Do NOT surrender that card no matter what SSA tells him.

The Green Card is generated at the Texas Service Center and should arrive within one month. He may receive multiple Welcome Letters beforehand, or just one (potentially none I suppose).

He will have to file with you to Remove Conditions in 2 years minus 90 days. I recommend you start saving evidence now. There are some good suggestions in the pinned post of the I-751 Forum here.

While he is visiting uscis.gov, I also highly recommend the publication Welcome to America, A Guide for New Immigrants. It has a lot of useful information, even when the immigrant has a USC spouse.. stuff I hadn't thought of.

He can also get familiar with the requirements for natualrization, even if he thinks he might not be interested right now. He would be eligible to apply in 3 years minus 90 days from his US entry (when his PR status started) and the time goes by more quickly than you imagine!

Welcome to America, Stewart!

PS: links to all of the above are in the DCF Guide.
