how long to receive green card

[Bob & Joana 2]

Hi, I paid that new Immigration fee prior to my wife's arrival to US on CR-1 Visa. Her PoE was 1 month ago already but we have not received her greencard. Does it normally take this long to receive it or is there someone(who?) that I need to contact about this? Dont really need it for anything (yet), but Im just making sure if it should be here already or not. Thanks.

Yes, several green cards have taken upwards of 2 months to receive (some longer).

Here's some info on tracking your GC:

Also, in case you're unaware as you stated you don't need it for anything (yet), your endorsed visa stands as your green card for up to 1 year so you don't need it yet for a long time.

Since the greencard takes takes too long to receive it, can you use the endorsed visa(w/c stands as greencard for one year) to apply for jobs? Also, as for my parents can they already file to petition for my sister using the endorsed visa? Bcoz they wanted to file a petition for my sis before october.
