What do we do next

[fin fin 5]

Good morning everyone

My husband petitioned for his mom using the I130, she moved to the US with US last Friday. Now we are at a stand still because we don't know what to do next, will they automatically mail her a green card? Once she receives a green card, then we can have her apply for a social ?

Ensure the $220 green  card fee has been paid. The GC will be mailed to her anytime from weeks to months Her stamped visa is her temporary GC until then. If she checked the box on her DS260 requesting a SSN, wait 3 weeks.  If she  hasnt received it  by then .. or if she didn't request it.. head to the SSA office with  the required documents and apply in oerson

I do not think we paid the $220, who would we pay it to? We also do not remember the option to check the box for a social on the DS260:(

She should have received instructions from the consulate her passport visa regarding the fee. It is only paid after  the visa is issued.   I cant see your DS 260 so i cant tell you if you checked the box or not. The USCIS website has plenty of information on paying the GC fee. There are multiple threads on here .. search for “paying green card fee”

I was able to pull up the DS260 submitted and see that my husband did anser "yes" to the ss# question in regards to getting one issued. I will search that on here. Thank you so much for your help, I greatly appreciate it.
