All Immigration Visa types

Your to Do's once you arrive.

1. Have you paid your $220 Immigration fee to get your green card produced. If not go here and pay
it after Visa pickup either before beneficiary leave their country or after arrival.

2. When you pay the Immigration fee you get an email with your new IOE receipt # that's the number
you track for status to see status of your green card.

3. Social Security Number normally arrives 2 to 4 weeks after arrival. If for some reason it has not
been received by day 30 go to your local SS office and apply for your card.

4. When you entered the US your passport at the POE(POrt of Entry) was stamped by the
CBP(Customs Border Protections) Thats it is 551 temp green card stamp. With that stamp and your
SS# you can apply for employment, get a drivers or State ID, and open accounts. Go for it.

5, I believe the majority of everyone arrived after their 2 year wedding anniversary which means you
will be issued a 10 year green card. However for those who arrived before their 2 year wedding
anniversary you get the 2 year green card and in 21 to 24 month after arrival is your window to apply
for ROC(Removal of Conditions) I-751, to get the 10 year green card.

6. To all Spouse immigration Visa types who are curious about citizenship. You are eligible to file
for citizenship 90 days from your 3 year anniversary as a LPR. Meaning your arrival date is the date
you became a LPR (Lawful Permanent Resident) so 90 days from that date you can file for
citizenship.
