DV 2013 Entrant Status Check

Another Exciting Migration Chapter

Today I arrived back in the US with my immediate relative who is now a legal permanent US resident. 

My immediate relative was a first-time incoming US resident, so I had the privilege of seeing first hand, how incoming residents are processed at the port of entry. Dulles International Airport (Washington) was our port of entry. 

The immigration officers were friendly and helpful; the entire process only took approximately 25 minutes more than I would normally spend going through immigration and customs.

My only advice for first time incoming residents is ensure you have the packet provided to you by the US Embassy ready for the immigration officer at your port of entry. The officers will guide you through the rest -fingerprinting, customs declaration and agricultural check. Importantly, do not carry more than ten thousand dollars.
