IR1 approved

[Margo2017777 77]

Today after my interview my visa IR1 got approved.  And i was told that i will receive passport with my visa by the end of this week .

 

question about Green Card. Do i need to apply for it once i am in U.S? How long does it take to get it?

 

and i was not give any envelopes with my medical.. will it come with passport or it is all electronic now ?

You need to pay the $220 fee for the production of the actual card .  Recommended to pay it before you enter. On entry your ir visa will be stamped and endorsed by the CBP officer and will be your evidence of lpr status while you wait for the actual card to be delivered. It can take weeks or months to come  You have LPR status as soon as you enter the US 

 

Your documentation is electronic .. no envelope.

Yes, it is confusing! I got K1 few years ago and came to U.S but had to leave before my GC interview due to my husband employment abroad . So we decided to do all over again but with wife VISA. 
 

so will wait for my passport and see for further instructions!  Thanks again.

You need to enter the visa information printed on the passport in order to pay the immigration fee.  It can be paid as soon as you get your passport with the visa, or anytime after, even after arriving to the US.  It is recommended to pay it as soon as you can.
