WHEN SHOULD WE EXPECT DELIVERY OF OUR CR1 & CR2 GREEN CARDS

We received our visa package August 1st.
Booked Flights same day for August 2nd Flights.

During Flight I noticed a yellow letter attached outside of the Sealed Visa Package.
The letter said to go to a (USCIS Ellis) website and pay visa fee prior to arriving to USA. Or you won't receive your GC.

Using the Airline WIFI in mid air, I was able to access the website but couldn't find out how to pay per their directions.

Upon arrival, I tried to pay at JFK, But they said I didn't owe anything.
We received SS cards within a week, but still no GCards.
Only I551 good for a year on Visa. Is it possible that we due owe and need to try the website again?

Thanks

you need to pay via ELIS that's the only way to pay the immigrant fee.
