Congratulations!

You are an intending immigrant and everything completed and processed at Visa issuing post.

It simply means that the visa was issued after a waiver under section 212(g) was approved.

Immigrant visa will not be denied at the port of entry. CBP officers will not re-scrutinize his/her case at the POE.

This is straight forward to complete the formalities required for the endorsement of his/her immigrant visa.

NO secondary inspection done by CBP.

Nothing will be brought up about I- 601 Waiver or anything, just common conversation while completing the final processing.

During the conversation with CBP officer, the following is done.

-> Finger printing/scanning

-> Picture/Photgraph taken

-> Order Green Card & Social Security Number

-> Endorse temporary PR stamp in the Passport
