Be sure to take your flight details/itinerary - especially your boarding pass if you still have it.

i will keep the e-ticket, ticket, boarding pass etc that shows you are indeed complete ur trip to go to the states on top of going to closest CBP office (usually in big airport). you wont get i-94 since ur visa is immigrants visa. only non immigrant visa get i-94 online

Increasingly they are going 100% online.  When my husband had his interview in Jakarta they stamped his passport with the same stamp there and did not give him a package to bring to the US as they used to do.  When he arrived after checking in with immigration they took him to an office in the airport and within the hours he was out.  I think in one month he received his social security card and in 6 weeks his 10 year green card, ( we had already been married over two years when he entered. )

This thread is referring to CBP stamping a date endorsement on an immigrant visa when arriving in the US.  This endorsement "activates" the new immigrant's temporary Green card for a year.
