IR1 visa approved- now what?

[mansux 9]

I had my interview at the embassy in Sweden April 25th. I was approved and last Friday I got my passport back with the temporary gc. We are flying to Texas at the end of July and we've been married almost six years so I will get the 10 year gc. I'm paying the visa fee this month. Is there anything we need to do once we get to the U.S immigration wise? Do we need to start collecting documents, file any more forms and so on? What part of this forum should I start keeping an eye at? I just want to be prepared for everything yesterday lol

no such thing as a temporary green card in a passport. It is a visa, not a green card. Green card comes AFTER arrival to the US

Thank you for clarifying that Ok so after getting my ten year gc after I arrive to the U.S what do we have to look forward to immigration wise?

If I've understood it right we don't need to worry about ROC, AOS and EAD. If I want to apply for citizenship I can do that either after 3 or 5 years after living in the U.S. If not then the only thing we need to do is to renew the ten year gc before it expires. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Nope thats it. Nothing else immigration wise.

Did you choose to receive your SSN or do you need to apply for it on entry,

[mansux 9]

I chose to be assigned one

That doesn't mean it will come. If it doesn't come within 2 weeks go to an SSA office and apply for one.
