I got my Welcome Letter after entry, about three weeks later. It says I will hear from them in 30 days.

It has my immigrant no (same as the one put on my passport at POE), case type is OS155A (does it mean Green Card production??), and the receipt no. starts with "SRC-"

I tried to find to put this receipt no. in the online tracking system, but it didn't find it. I also tried with the call center, but it didn't work either. Is there any way to TALK to an operator at the call center without having a valid receipt no. ???

Can I hope to receive the green card in the next 2 weeks? I got the SSN card and driving license without problems.

The SRC number should work because that's what I used to trace mine. Just enter it as SRCxxxxxxxxxx

replace the x's with digits and don't put any space or dash

It could come within 2 weeks - that's how long it took between my first one to arrive from welcome letter & green card in hand but second time around it took about 3 weeks from welcome letter to green card in hand (this was last month)

NO Greencard no. on it! I'm sure...

Perhaps another letter will come before the actual card? Any IR1 person can confirm?

I guess I cannot track yet because it hasn't been mailed then? It returned an error and the call center lady said that it is probably because 30 days from entry haven't passed yet.... Or perhaps they were just too lazy to check and understand why it was not in the system!!!

I see you are an aficionado of Welcome letters!! ;-)

I don't know why but I cannot track it... Yes I did enter like you said..

It's good that it should take only 2-3 weeks!!

Thank you
