Immigration Video Transcripts:
After I got approved for US Immigrant visa, I was told to go to a specified Bank after 10 days to collect all my visa documents. Here is what they gave me beside my passport with a US visa stamp- (1) a yellow sealed envelope to be handed over to immigration officer when you arrive in the United States, (2) brown envelope with an X-Ray CD and last but not the least (3) a green page with detailed instructions on how to pay your immigrant fee. After paying the fee online, amazingly only after seven business days, I went outside to check my mailbox and there is my green card. You see it’s valid for ten years. There is an envelope to keep your green card. Read this helpful document and here is another super helpful trifold that you should read line by line and understand as a new immigrant.
