Where are their Greencards?

[JayT80 0]

My wife and child got here by March 21, 2016, how long does their greencard gets here(MD)? I already applied their greencard online last January. Can I check the status online?

Can take 4-6 months depending on if you have an interview or not and of course the contents of your submission as a great influence on your timeline.

If you check your status with your receipt ID, you will see a message with a tracking number to track delivery of your GC with USPS.

Did you pay the ELIS fee ($165 ) online at the USCIS website? Green cards are usual 2- 4 weeks once the ELIS is paid, and POE.

Usually it takes a month but in reality, its anybody's guess how long really. My first son got his a month after I applied for it while my second son took 3 mos.

Thanks guys. I paid $165 each online last January.

Ya, when you pay has no influence on how long it takes as long as the ELIS fees are paid before the POE date.

Not that it has any bearing on this topic since we're dealing with 2 different government agencies, but I applied for a SSAN name change for my step-daughter on Monday and it arrived in Friday's mail.

Did the same for my wife's GC and it took 4 1/2 months for USCIS to send it back. I applied for my wife's name change SSAN this past Thursday and we'll see how long it takes to process hers.

Where can I find the receipt ID?

Number was issued when you paid the ELIS fee... did you print a copy of the receipt?

I have it saved into my email. I have a tracking ID and an agency tracking ID.. Typed both numbers on the ELIS website and it saying Error.. Tried putting down their MNL # and doesn't work as well.

May be worth a call to USCIS.

entered USA (Jfk) may 29, 2016 together with my son. I got my green card today without my son's green card. Do they send the green card separately?

Yes they do send separately at times. This is not unusual for this to happen. Patience is needed it will follow shortly.

You only had to wait three more days from my posting. God is Great. Patience is a virtue. Glad it finally arrived.
