I just had my interview yesterday, everything went fine and everything got approved. They gave me a paper stating that I'm a resident and the officer said that I should receive my green card in the mail within the next 2 weeks. I was wondering since now I'm a U.S. Resident am I allowed to go pass a checkpoint even if I don't have my green card yet? I'm not getting out of the country, I just want to know if my husband and I can go to San Diego for the weekend? I know that once we go passed that checkpoint to come back they would ask for identification. Can I show my passport and the paper they gave me at my interview to prove that I am a U.S resident or do I have to wait until I get my green card? my husband says that there shouldn't be any problem and we could go, but I just want to make sure first.
