Mr. Khanna was a great help in me understanding the intricacies of the immigration law, with a legal situtation I had. Based on his guidance I got my Green Card a while ago and was able to plan on handling my legal situation. Thanks Mr. Khanna

Thank you Rajiv for the extra ordinary service to the immigration community and always ready to help. Rajiv's advice and immigrationportal.com have been super valuable at times when things are confusing with ever changing and arcane rules. I can personally relate to the inspiring energy and awareness Rajiv brought among wannabe permanent residents, when huge backlogs and processing times started to impact folks personally, almost a decade ago. Thank you. regards, vinod
Process After Getting Immigrant Visa
Question details
My mother is currently in the US. She entered based on the Immigration Visa on her passport and gave the sealed packet at the port of entry. We went to to the SSN office but were told that we need to wait for the SSN to come (via mail? - they had no clue). She wants to leave in the next few weeks. Questions:
1. Can she reenter without a physical GC in hand? She was told it takes 6-8 months to come at port of entry.
2. How do we get her SSN? Is it mailed automatically?
3. What else should I be aware of before she leaves the US?
Make an infopass appointment and get her passport stamped for temporary proof of green card. She can travel with that. Normally, the physical GC takes just a few weeks. I am not concerned about SSN. That will arrive eventually. But do review my blog videos about I-131 and maintaining green card, etc.
As always, Mr.Khanna is very helpful and to the point. Very satisfied with his way of handling issues.
