Finally, my fiance's green card has arrived (man that thing is crazy high-tech looking), and I have a couple questions.

1) Does this "replace" the I-94 she has in her passport? Will we need to use the I-94 anymore or is her passport now a "normal" passport? (We'd like to be able to send it back to Canada at some point to get it redone with her married name)

2) Does this "replace" her AP papers? Do we need to carry those with us when we travel anymore?

3) Does this "replace" her EAD card?

Thanks!

1) You no longer need an I94. However, I thought a BP officer was supposed to take that at some point? I'm not sure about it because I never got one.

2)Yes. No you don't need them to travel, just your passport.

3)Yes. The EAD card should have been taken by your interviewer when you had your green card interview. It no longer is valid as you have your green card.

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

if u travel ( at least to canada, cant say for others) you will need a passport and ur greencard!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

We just have the conditional card, so haven't had that interview yet, if I'm understanding you correctly.

When you receive your GC, your EAD and AP are nullified and void and should not be used for travel or work. GC is all you need or entry into the US and to work in the US. You need your passport to travel and visa to the country that you need to travel (if required), for entry into the country that you are traveling too. It really doesn't matter if you had any interviews or not. Your status is now LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENT since you have your Permanent resident card or Green Card.

When i have come back intot the USA, they hav edemanded to see my passport as well. Soem times they just ask for the greencard. On my last visit back to the USA (from canada) I purposely just handed over my greencard. The POE gal, asked where is your passport?

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer
