Montreal embassy EB-2 interview wait time-Part 2

[AgriSiva 12]

@AliceVancouver it took a month for me to get my physical cards. But, before that, I travelled 4 times to the US with my endorsed visas just fine. At Vancouver airport, Amtrak Pacific Central, Point Roberts and Blaine Pacific Highway land borders.

It was a long journey for me. my application was started on 2019 and I was told it just takes something around 8 months to get the visa but I received it after 4 yrs.

 

Thank you YJ members, you guys help me a lot during this frustrating time and I hope the process will back on track and rest of pending applications will get their visas on time.

Congratulations on reaching end of this super long uncertain journey like many of us!! All is good if it ends well and utmost patience is a absolute necessity for whatever it is worth :)) Very best in all your future endeavors.

 

Hope to see everyone else done with this journey soon.

This is the first time I  heard that to return to US, we don't need a greencard.

I reviewed you doc, it says "your passport with your visa and entry stamp as evidence of your status as a permanent resident"

It doesn't say we can use it to enter US, and I didn't see one year valid.

 

The visa + CBP entry stamp serves as the temporary green card, which is equivalent to a plastic green card for all legal purposes, including travel.  This note will be printed on the visa itself -- "UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR."  In case it's not clear, I-551 = green card, and endorsement = CBP entry stamp.

Hello,

 

Does anyone let me know where I can find the online account for checking/changing my address in US? Also, does someone need to do wet signature to receive the SSN card or they just put in the mailbox?
