The SSA office may or may not consult the USCIS database. They will if you specifically asked them to look her up in the SAVE db, and some do it anyhow, but sometimes they don't. A month isn't too l

I paid the immigrant fee for my wife after she got her visa before we depart for the U.S. It shows optimized while the status said "in process". That's good but I noticed "my profile" on the left side menu and clicked it, then noticed that contact information/address is empty. Do I have to update by adding contact information, passport number, etc? Or I don't have to worry about updating the information since the status is in process/optimized. My wife's Information is already on computer system??? Will green card be mailed to my US address based on DS 260?

Good question! Now you mention it, I read ages ago that the address would be required when paying the fee online,but I don't recall submitting it. I just checked and that info is empty for me. My US address will be different To the address I submitted on the ds 260. I submitted the new address at the visa interview though. can anyone let us know?

Hi,

First some details:---
Entered US in Dec-2014 second week (on Family based Permanent resident visa for spouse- CR1)

1. Current status from From ELIS:
Case Status is Optimized.
Case Details: In Progress
Status Date: Feb, 26, 2015

2. USCIS status For IOEXXXX number says:
My Card is being produced
On February 23, 2015, we began producing your new cardfor your Form OS155A, Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration, Receipt Number IOEXXXX. We will mail your card to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Questions:

1. Why they take so much time to send card? (For 2 Months I am seeing this message)
2. As they are saying card is being produced means Every thing cleared?
3. I called them once they did not say anything new apart from what I see on USCIS website. I also talked to second tier officer and he said nothing new and he said that he will pass message to concerned department.


What to do next?

Regards

Hi. My wife received her GC today yaah. Now it's time to get a job

She didn't need to wait for it to get a job :P the visa and CBP stamp count as a GC too!

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

 

September 26th 2016: I-751 package sent to CSC

September 28th 2016: Package delivered
September 30th 2016: Check cashed
October 3rd 2016: NOA1 received with receipt date of 09/28/16
November 3rd 2016: Biometrics received with appointment date of 11/14/16.
November 14th 2016: Attended biometrics appointment
October 30th 2017: Infopass appointment to get I-551 stamp
February 26th 2018: I-751 case number (aka the NOA1 receipt number) becomes trackable
March 14th 2018: Submitted service request due to being outside of processing time.

March 15th 2018: ROC approved. 535 days (1 year, 5 months and 17 days)

March 29th 2018: Card being produced

April 4th 2018: Card mailed out

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 8th 2018: Card in production thanks to the direct involvement of Senator Sherrod Brown's team

August 13th 2018: Card mailed

August 15th 2018: Card in hand with correct date. :joy:

October 31st 2018: Potomac sends out a notice stating they have closed out my I-90 per my request. Yay for no duplicate card drama.

They have the correct address right?

You should have gotten your card by now. Contact your congressman or senator and/or ombudsman about why you do not have your card yet!

Have you entered your IOE number into the case tracker on the USCIS website? Does it say it was sent out there?

Okay but if it doesn't have a tracking number, they haven't sent it.

So contact the representatives.


ELIS will say "card produced case closed" when the card is actually produced and has been sent.

Mine also is blank for physical and mailing addresses in ELIS...I read somewhere that for mailing green cards, they don't use this address, but the address used on DS-260 form.

Hi everyone, i entered LAX on the 16th of Feb 2015. I received my social security in the mail in just about a week. However the green card process is taking ages. My Elis status changed to optimized on the 26th of march. Now elis says:

Case received: 24th Feb

Status Date: 16th March

Received as: e-file

Status: In process.

How many days does it take to get the green card from this status, the status has been stuck at optimized since a month now and i am getting worried?!?!? Called the customer center (April 2nd) and they made a call back to me by a service agent who said that it has been 45 days and you have not received your card so we are forwarding your request to the texas service center to produce the card ASAP.
