US Immigration from Kuwait

Arrived 15 mins before interview time - completed my security check - checked in with front desk and waited for my turn to be called.

In 10 mins, the USCIS immig officer opened the door and called my name, and took me back to her office. She was very kind and understanding, I did not feel stressed at all.

She requested my state ID and greencard. and started to explain how the process is going to be.

After verifying my name - she began with Civics questions:

1. Two departments of govt

2. Speaker of the house

3. Right of anyone living in US

4. Name of US president

5. Statue of Liberty in?

6. What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?

7. In what month do we vote for President? 8)What is one responsibility that is only for United States citizens?

8. What do we show loyalty to when we say the Pledge of Allegiance?

9. What is the capital of the United States?

Got 9/10.

Reading - where is the white house located?

writing - The White house is located in Washington DC

After the interview- Got the response - decision can t be made. (Some get approved right after the interview- mine wasn t- I got a paper that said decision can t be made now- and they will contact in the coming days with the decision. I was approved in 32 days.- I believe it was because my immigration officer needed supervisor approval)

As the title says,how do I determine this info before getting my physical green card?
is it the day I enter USA?
or is it the day I was granted the IR1 visa?

Does anyone know if anyone with an expired conditional green card with 4 year extension letter can get visa on arrival to Dominican Republic.
