We have been selected in the DV and are planning on travelling to the US in December to activate it... Very excited.
The problem is that I am pregnant and still working and can only afford 2 weeks off to initiate the process, I cannot travel later because of the baby and risk losing the visa if we travel after the baby is born.
My questions are: How long does it take to get your green card once applying for it? Does it get mailed to a US address (we have friends in LA who can receive it)? Is the green card literally a card or is it in your passport?
We have so much to wrap up in South Africa so will only be able to emigrate mid - late 2016 but do NOT want to miss out on this opportunity and have to book flights ASAP!
Thanks for your help.
