The endorsed visa you have in your passport is a document from list A and it's a temporary green card. This is all you need to provide. As others have said, they can't pick what you should show.

Sabela,
 
the I-9 form lists all accepted documents. The immigrant visa with endorsement is listed as one of them. Show the I-9 list of documents to the HR department.
 
And most documents on the list have an expiration date. As long as the expiration date is in the future, the document is not expired and has to be accepted.

Having gone through the EB-5 myself, I really suggest you contact a qualified EB-5 lawyer. The first part of the process, the I-526 petition, is not even the biggest hurdle, but the I-829 you have to file later to prove the investment and the creation of jobs. As others have said, the normal investment requirement is not $900K, but $1.8MM. $900K is for TEAs. Also, make sure when you talk with the lawyer, check if an investment made years ago qualifies for this visa. I don't believe it does. If you go forward with this plan, make sure you keep records of all expenses, the most important part being payroll records. To give you an idea, my I-829 had thousands of pages.
 
Final comment: EB-5 petition approval is taking years now. You'll need to be patient.

Even the SSN is not mandatory, unless the employer participates in E-Verify. But even in this case you can leave it blank if you have applied for a SSN:

You don't have a physical SS card or you don't even have a social security number?
 
The employer can't specify what documents you present to prove identity and work authorization. Of course, you'll need a SS number to fill the I-9 form, but if you present a valid green card, that is enough to prove both identity and work authorization. 
 
This is a snapshot of the I-9 form instructions.
 

They shipped on Nov 27th and it arrived on Nov 30th.

AstroCanada, actually you have to disclose your immigration status on the I-9. There is a section that asks for that. You don't have to give a copy of the green card if you can prove work authorization by showing other documents.

BTW, I needed a stamp because mine was expired. I called USCIS and they called me back to schedule an appointment, which was scheduled for tomorrow. So, while you can use DL+SS card to work, try to schedule an appointment again.

misook,
 
it's up to you to choose what documents to use when filling the I-9. You don't need the greencard to fulfill the requirements if you have valid Driver License and the Social Security Card with no restrictions, for example. The employer can't ask for specific documents.

Olá,
 
se você fizer a declaração de saída definitiva, não terá mais a obrigação de fazer declarações futuras de IR e não terá que pagar impostos sobre a renda obtida no exterior. A obrigação de pagar impostos sobre a renda obtida no Brasil continua (aluguéis, salário, rendimentos etc.). Não há qualquer restrição de ter propriedade no Brasil, de ser herdeiro etc. É claro que o espólio herdado será sujeito à tributação. E você terá que declarar a herança na sua declaração de renda ao IRS.
 
 Recomendo fazer a declaração, pois se não fizer, há o risco da receita federal tributar a sua renda obtida no exterior.
 
O que já li em blogs e artigos, é que, teoricamente, o brasileiro morando no exterior deveria comunicar ao banco a condição de não residente, fato que exigiria a mudança da conta bancária no Brasil para uma conta de não residente. O desafio é achar algum gerente de banco que tenha as informações sobre este tipo de conta.

Hi,
 
being a Brazilian myself I understand the pressure you are getting. My two cents: Brazilians think that life in the US is much easier than reality. You and other people already touched the health insurance issues and, while a lot of things are more expensive in Brazil, health insurance is much more expensive in the US. One other thing I would like to mention: Brazilians in general don't speak English and underestimate the effort to learn a new language and a new culture. If you eventually decide to bring your wife's family (although your sister-in-law would have to wait more than 10 years for a visa), take into consideration the pressure your wife will be under. She would be the only family member that would be able to speak to your mother-in-law. A mention this because the devil is on the details. Would your MIL willing to learn English? If not, your wife would have to be a professional translator to handle everything, from going to the grocery store to handle visits to the doctor, DMV etc.
 
My advice: keep them in Brazil and give incentive to your wife to visit them often.

No. No need to get in person if they issued the document online. There is an specific comment in US Consulate in Rio that they accept online issued police certificates.
I presented the Policia Federal and Paraná State certificates that were issued online with no issues whatsoever.

I entered the US four times with my daughter (she was under 14). Three times with a B1/B2 visa and once with an immigrant visa. She never was either photographed or had her fingerprints taken. Myself and my wife were a different story.
 
I know this is just one sample, but I believe underage kids and babies are not on the list of high risk individuals to be monitored.
 
 

Minors are inspected and have their visa processed and an I-94 issued. Fingerprinting and photograph is about risk monitoring: immigration, terrorism etc. What benefit of photographing/fingerprinting a baby would bring to government authorities?

Of course they are. My comment was about the photo/fingerprinting.

Children below a cut-off age (I believe is 12 or 14) neither have their fingerprint taken nor have to be photographed.

Once you have a credit score, try Amex or Discover. They have a history of liking thin files (people with short credit history and not many credit cards). Also, even if the limit is very low, they grow fast. I started with a $1,000 limit with Discover and now is higher than 20K.
 
It also helps to be an authorized user on someone's else credit card.
 

Maybe the passport itself is not fake, but the documents used to get the passport were?

I had the same experience in France in 2004. I flew into CDG and the immigration officer did not even open my passport. When I left through Germany, the immigration officer looked for a entry stamp, did not find it and asked when and where I had entered the EU. I told I had entered through Paris and he answered back: "the french".

I don't see any fraud here. He is in the US under a F1 Visa and his girlfriend will come also come under a F1 Visa. If they get married and later he gets a H1B or GC where is the fraud? He is not an US Citizen, so if she comes and marries him she sill get no immigration benefits until he is a PR.
What is the immigration fraud when someone comes to the US under any visa and gets married to a non-USC or non-PR? I'm not getting it.
