Congrats and, to mimic your approval notice, welcome to the USofA!

Some things to remember:

1. Males between the ages of 18 and 26 MUST register with the Selective Service. There is a disclaimer about this on the I-485.

2. It may seem incredibly obvious but only U.S. citizens are allowed to register to vote AND to actually vote in an election. This includes local elections of any kind.

3. Keep track of any international travel. Helpful should you ever wish to become a U.S. As an LPR, you will no longer get I-94s, but your CBP travel history will continue to update (useful for keeping travel of travel but better to save your itineraries and boarding passes). Sometimes CBP forgets to stamp your passport upon entry.

I’ve been on an H1B for many years with an approved I-140. Can I work outside of the US for 1 year (in Canada where I am a permanent resident) and come back on an L1? I understand the green card processing time on L1 is significantly faster.
