While those who, in their lifetime, chose to walk with Christ and look forward to that great day when they will be "caught up to meet Jesus in the air," there is nothing in scripture that points to this happening immediately after we die.  If this was so, the opposite effect would be in question as well.  What about those who did not work for that heavenly reward?  Where do they go? or, Where are they, even as we speak?  Where do they live life after death?

The Bible states that the dead do not go to heaven or hell at death but remain in the grave.  See Job 7:9-10, Job 21:32, John 5:28-29.  Even Jesus Himself stayed in the grave after he died and did not rise immediately.  See John 20:17.  If nothing, Jesus' example should answer that question of where do we go when we die, if we ever pondered it.  The afterlife and what happens when we die is a two part story of which this is the first part.  Jesus demonstrated both phases.
