Questions about after receiving VISA

[luukee 19]

Hello VJers,

I was wondering about a few things, if someone might know.

was reading this page:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/interview/after.html

1. Visa Approval - When You Receive Your Visa

Passport with Visa – Your immigrant visa will be placed on a page in your passport. Please review the printed information right away to make sure there are no errors. If there are any spelling errors, contact the embassy or consulate promptly.

On my Wife's VISA, it has the IV case number HCMXXXXX01 - our original case number does not have a 01, so did they just add representing the first print of the VISA? (in case you somehow lose it you'd have to pay for a re-issue?)

2. X-rays – Must be hand-carried with you, not packed in your luggage.

I don't think my wife received any X-rays, would that be inside the sealed packet?

3. Social Security Number – To learn about the U.S. Social Security Administration benefits available to Legal Permanent Residents, and how to apply for a social security number card, visit the Social Security Administration website.

I remember us checking to apply for SSN during the DS-260 online application, so do we need to worry about this? or it will be automatically sent to the home?

thank you again

I received my x-rays on a disc from the clinic where I went for the x-ray. I'm suppose to carry that with me at POE. Didn't your wife get anything from the x-ray clinic, no disc, USB, paper print outs?

If you ticked the SSN box on the DS-260, your wife will automatically get the SSN to her home address, so no need to worry about that.

my bad, thank you so much for the info. Turns out my wife does have a CD of the xrays, and I did ticked the SSN.

What else do you think my wife needs when she gets to the POE?

Xrays

Vaccinations records

Sealed envelope

Immigrant visa payment (i'm doing that now - $165)

thanks again

xrays don't matter. The CBP don't generally take them. They're to give to whatever new doctor you get if you choose. Mine are somewhere... around... not sure.... but I think I have them... somewhere...... .. .... meh.
