Port of Entry related Question

[ababar 3]

Hello Everyone,

I have a question , So I filed a case for wife (we call it pax here) from Alaska and I live there as well, she got approved got visa etc, (everything good). Now my  rest of the family lives in Texas Dallas, My question is when my wife will enter to united States, will she must go to Alaska, or Pax can go to Texas and stay there for couple days. (for If i decided to go to disneyword at florida and have her come there, does that will concern them. 

 

THANKS in advance

Her packet for a CR1 will have a letter on the outside with your Alaska address

that is where she has to go / after green card she is free to travel

she will need a plane ticket for Alaska and when asked by immigrationat POE  "where are you going?"

she needs to say that Alaskan address 

she can not meet you in Texas at this point / even her green card will come to the Alaskan address

congratulations

Is this specific for CR1? No other immigrant visa requires you to have a particular port of entry irrespective of the address on the application or where the green card will be sent.

not correct your wife can go to any POE. If she wishes to meet you in Texas then she can fly there. You can also go to Florida or anywhere else in the USA  then you both can go to Alaska The visa stamp in her passport is good for anywhere in the US. 

I met my wife in Denver  Colorado when she came over on the CR-1 visa . I was living in  Austin Texas at the time, The visa stamp is a temp Green card until the Real one arrives

 on A CR-1 visa a person is automatically a green card holder depending on length of Marriage whether it is  2 or 10 year

Sorry I forget to mention case was file as a greencard holder not a US citizen, Anyway if I understand it right, my wife can come to Texas and stay here and doesn't have to go to Alaska right away, and port of entry won't matter because she got temp greedcard stampt as u mentioned.

 

Thanks a lot for your help

yes she can go to any POE In the USA she can travel anywhere in The USA. It does not matter if you are a citizen or a LPR.  It is probably not good to visit  another country  until the actual Green card arrives but she can visit any states in the USA

The temporary green card in your passport is good for anything a plastic green card is good for. All either is, is proof of legal status, one is not superior to the other. I traveled on my temporary GC with no problem, and many others do too.

When they put the temporary I551 stamp in one's passport after the CR1 is approved, the person already has proof of LPR status.  As others have stated, the stamp and the physical card are equal.  To my knowledge there is no requirement for any IV that requires a specific POE. 

 

To the OP, enjoy spending time with the family and your wife!
