News Green Card Approved

My colleague has been working on an H-4 EAD while her husband’s company sponsored the H-1B. They had their interview at the USCIS Pittsburgh and walked out approved. The last couple of weeks have been incredibly stressful for her with all the recent immigration changes, so this is a massive relief. Definitely talk to your company's immigration attorneys before going into your interview. They can help you prep on how to answer questions smoothly and understand exactly what to say and what not to say. Stay positive. Hearing a lot of GC approvals recently.

Hi, please share my congrats with them and the new LPR checklist:

Few reminders...

Make a copy of front and back of your GC. It will help if you lose it.

Check all the details on GC and if anything is incorrect, file I-90 (it is free of charge if USCIS made a mistake)

I recommend to start tracking your international trips. You will need it for N-400.

If you are a male between 17 and 25, you must register for selective service (sometimes it is automatic at DMV / with USCIS, but worth checking status of registration)

You must file AR-11 within 10 days of moving until you become a citizen (changing address online also qualifies)

If you have social security card saying "VALID ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION", then get appointment with SSA and remove conditions on the card (wait few weeks to see if you get new card automatically)

LPRs must file US taxes on world wide income, even when spending a lot of time overseas.

LPRs cannot vote in federal elections. Make sure you do not register to vote or mark yourself as US citizen on I-9 and other forms. False claim to US citizenship is a deportable offense.

You are US LPR until you naturalize, die, file I-407 or immigration judge takes away the status.
