Hello,
I ve just been delivered my DV Visa and expiry dates is just in one month from now, since I had my medical examination 5 months ago.
With such a short notice, I won t be able to settle down things in my country (I run a small business), and so I 'll have to come back quite soon and will need several moths to plan moving my company to US.
According to several information on the web, it takes about 4-5 weeks for the plastic green card to be delivered to the specified US address.
1. Does this 4-5 weeks time start from the payment of the 165$ fee or it's meant from the landing date on the US territory (having already paid the fee, of course)?
In other words, does it make a difference if I pay the immigrant fee today or one week before getting to the US?
2. Can I apply for a re-entry permit as soon as I get my I-551, without having to wait for the green card?
Thank you a lot in advance for you attention
