Hi guys, we are 2019 winners, have had the interview, medicals, etc, we have the sealed envelopes and are travelling to Hawaii to activate our Green Card.
Question: Apart from the sealed envelopes, what else do we need to bring with us?
How much is the fee? Can we pay at the airport during our interview?
Do we need to bring our vaccination records, the same that we brought to our interview at the US Consulate in Sydney?

Thanks in advance....

I'm doing the same trip in a couple of months - All your answers, (same as SusieQQQ's) are here - https://travel.state.gov/content/tr...sa-process/interview/after-the-interview.html
 
Hi guys,
Thanks for your replies, I am trying to pay the USCIS fee online but it is not recognising either my A number or my Case ID. Not sure why, is this an issue? Remember I have my Immigrant Visa stamp in my Australian Passport and I have the sealed yellow envelope.
Can I just pay at Border Control in Hawaii when we arrive at Customs?

Thanks again...

No, you have to pay online. Are you following all the instructions on the page I linked, it specifically deals with problems entering A numbers and how to enter your DV case number.
 
I remember it took me a day or so of getting an error to realize in my excited haste I was entering the number incorrectly .. read the instructions carefully ...

The A-Number is identified as the Registration Number on the Visa Stamp. If your A-number is fewer than 9 digits, insert a zero after the “A” and before the first digit to create a 9 digit number (for example “A12345678” would become “A012345678”).

The DOS Case ID is identified as IV Case Number on the Visa Stamp, but has two additional numbers at the end, such as 01 or 02. When entering the IV Case Number as the DOS Case ID into the USCIS online filing system, do not include the last two numbers. For example: if your IV Case Number is ABC1234567801, you would not include the 01 and enter your DOS Case ID as ABC12345678.
