When Do I Receive My Green Card After the Interview?
You will not receive your green card immediately if you are interviewed outside the U.S. and the consular officer approves your application. Until the official green card arrives, the officer will only stamp your passport to indicate approval of permanent residency.
A sealed immigration packet will be given to you, allowing you to travel to the United States, which should not be opened.
A customs officer will collect and check your sealed immigration packet once you arrive at a U.S. port of entry.
The officer may decide to grant or deny you entry after checking your packet.
You will be able to enter the U.S. as a permanent resident if you are granted entry at the port of entry, and your official green card will be mailed to you a few weeks after your arrival.
Do Asylum Applicants need to be interviewed?
