Now once we get her SS and 10yr Green card there is nothing else or fees to do until we file for citizenship in 2.5 yrs correct?

Correct.   Then in 3 years (minus 90 days) she can file the N-400 for naturalization  

 

Did you pay the GC fee, $220 ?    https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee/

@Murph4865, Ah, but the journey is far from over. You will finally have your wife here. 

But there will be many more things to do... 

Like what to keep the AC on, my wife says to close it when it's 99 degrees in Alabama this week.

There are no Mo-Mo's in the woods behind the house.

I had to learn that rice IS a major food group and yes, rice for almost every meal is almost mandatory.

Teaching her to drive. And that just because you don't see a police officer, you cannot just run the stop sign.

Also, those signs on the sides of the roads do mean something... like sharp curve ahead and stop.

Trying to convince her that you cannot stop and take pictures in someone's yard because it has nice flowers growing in it.

Coming into the house after she has cooked anything with shrimp paste and trying to get that awful smell out of the house.

See... the fun has just started!!

(By the way, this was posted in fun. And is in no way done to make fun of anyone)

Congratulations on getting her here with you.

Seems they don't give out the paper instructions anymore.  Anyway, you don't need it.  Both the DOS case number and the A-number are on the IR1 visa itself --

 

 

(Thanks to @Lucky Cat for the sample visa pic)

My wife quit eating rice, she eat quinoa now of days, much more healthy.

 

She runs about 97lbs she got up to 107 eating rice, She went on a Keto Diet and lost 15lbs and got down to 92 lbs which was a tad too thin.  Now she stay around 97 and gave up rice.
