Davi, our greencards were issued to us at the dock by the U.S. Immigration Officers once the passport with immigration visa stamped in it was revealed to the two U.S. Immigration Officers who sat at the desk near the stairsway where we disembark from the S.S. President Wilson. I held on to the four greencards for us 4 kids until Dad and Mom asked me to hand them over to them except mine. Need to carry it at all time, to reveal to the officials when asked, in order to prove that one has the legal rights to live and work in the U.S.A. permanently.
