I entered the U.S. on an IR1 visa through Atlanta International Airport. I arrived around 9 PM, so there weren’t many people at immigration. Since it was my first entry, I went through the line for foreign nationals — the other line was for U.S. citizens, Canadians, and green card holders.
The CBP officer didn’t ask many questions, just “Who is your wife?” and “Do you have a packet for me?” I handed him the documents I had, but he didn’t even look at them. He just told me everything was fine. I asked if he would stamp my passport, and he said no, that it wasn’t necessary.
So I assume that now, my IR1 visa has been activated and serves as the temporary I-551 (proof of permanent residency).
