There's a difference between being in heaven completely (with body) and with soul only. We have biblical evidence for the first in case of Enoch (Genesis 5:24) and Elijah (2Kings 2:1-18), there is an apocryphal account of this happening to Moses (Assumption of Moses) and the tradition dogmatized in Catholic Church and believed by many in Orthodox Churches ...

The main verse that people quote with regards to being in heaven immediately is the words of Jesus on the cross to the thief:
"I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise" Luke 23:43
