I am just curious... I will have my Green Card interview November 22. Now I am wondering though, is this really the final step?

Or will there still be more paperwork?

And will I finally be able to travel again when I get my green card? (I would really like to go back to Holland again sometime ^_^; )

Am assuming you have been married for less than 2 years, so the green card you will receive is conditional, good for 2 years.

Within 90 days before your conditional green card expires, you must file for Removal/Lifting of Conditions to receive a 10 year green card.

From there you can either apply for U.S. citizenship after meeting the minimum requirements, or remain a green card holder and just renew your status every 10 years (make sure you meet the residency requirements to maintain that, as well).

You will be able to travel back and forth to Holland when you receive your green card or advance parole (if you applied for it).

Advance Parole allows you to reenter the US if you travel outside the country prior to receiving your GC.

You will have to remove the conditions on your GC 2 years after it is issued.

After that it is either apply for Citizenship or renew the GC every 10 years.
