Waiting For Greencard

[canadiangirl39 16]

Hey all, so I arrived in the US on Saturday July 11, 2015, came on a CR 1 visa. Got my SS after one week, but until now I haven't received my green card, I called USCIS who says they cannot see anything in the system and that I have to wait at least 60 days before they can do anything...Now I paid the ELIS fee for the green card since July 7, 2015. So was wondering if anyone else out there had this issue with them and how it was resolved, thanks guys.

Saw this posted by another about 2 weeks ago/ they received answer saying it was taking long time to print out cards/ this may be part of the systems break down the embassies had 2 and 3 months ago / actually the govenrnment sites were hacked and now i am getting scam letters saying they are from US government / one saying even i won visa lottery / i was born in the US and never needed to enter the lottery

so, hopefully all will be straightened out soon

my husband comes in today so please post when you get your GC as we will be in the same boat as you

Im glad to see this post since I'm going thru a similar experience. I got here on August 24th. Paid the USCIS Elis on August 11th. Got my SSN card after on week (gotta say I was surprised.. it was pretty quick) I still haven't gotten my GC yet, called USCIS and the say I have to wait 60 days and then I can call them. I have read you can check your case status tool on USCIS to track your GC. I been checking but nothing for me it keeps saying my case was approved. Maybe you have some luck. Keep us posted!

I will keep you guys posted when i hear something..60 days will be up on Monday but since its a holiday I have to wait until Tuesday to call back..other people who came in after me got theirs already so not sure what the problem is exactly.

I was told at the POE on August 21 that it will take 3-6 months to receive my green card. I was very disappointed, as I read somewhere on vj that it takes 4-6 weeks.

Can you not work with the SSN while you wait for your green card?

some jobs you can but some you need the green card...as i got an offer by a particular company that required the green card, unfortunately they cant wait on me forever so the job is gone. Oh well what can i do..
