First of all, thank you guys for helping me because I would not have been able to do this without ya'll.
My parents just got their IR5 visa on their swedish passports and I booked us all 3 one way tickets to USA.
Question 1 - Greencard:
I'm a bit stuck on how they will get their actual greencard. Someone here told me it's sent out automatically?
Online I read I have to pay an immigration fee. Is that the DS-260? I just have no idea what to do and how to find out if I should pay in advance or not. I mean I'm sure it won't be automatic and I have to submit some type of application?
Obviously I would like to get things done sooner.
Question 2 - Address for GC
If the greencard is being shipped somewhere, does anyone have a clue on how I can update the address or find out where it's going?
They closed phone support to 603-334-0700 :(
Question 3 - Social Security card:
My goal is to establish good credit score for both my parents. Not sure which of the 2 options below are more benefical
Should I apply for a social security card for my parents before they get their greencards? Or prior?
Question 4 - Bank account:
My goal is to establish good credit score for both my parents. Not sure which of the 2 options below are more benefical
Should I open up a debit bank account for my parents as soon as we get there? Or is it better to do it after getting a social security card and/or their greencards?
Please let me know even if you don't know the answer to all 3.
Thank you so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
