I paid the Immigrant online, and signed up for a USIS account (to check status) on Oct. 15, 2018.

On Oct. 24 I arrived in the USA, through pre-clearence in Toronto.

On Tuesday Oct. 30, on the suggestion of my immigration lawyer, I went to a local Social Security Office to apply for a number.

The Agent told me that I had already been issued a number (which she gave me) and that I should expect the card in the mail sometime the following week.

On Saturday Nov. 03, I checked my mail box and my Green Card was there, on Monday the 5th my Social Security arrived!

 

It took 10 days to receive my GC after arriving in the States....this somewhat makes up for the 16 months it took to process my CR1 visa!

Hello all

 

We are desperate. My wife received her CR1 I-551 visa on 06/29/18. We paid the $220 GC fee online the very next day on 06/30/18 before entry. Received the receipt from Pay.gov. We entered the US approximately 1 month later on 07/26/18 with an endorsement. We understand this began the 120 day clock. It's now been 125 days and nothing has changed with our case.

 

The online case status simply says "On June 30, 2018, we received your USCIS immigrant fee payment...". We called the toll-free number a couple of weeks ago, and they promised that someone would get back to us within 15 days. It's now been 15 days, and nothing. I submitted an online form for "missing card", and it says to wait till 12/20/18 for a response. Our lives are on hold!

 

Here are our questions:

 

a) Has anyone experienced a delay this long? If so, how did you eventually get it resolved?

 

b) Beside the online form and calling them, what else can we do? Hire an attorney?

 

c) The I-551 in my wife's passport has an issue date of 06/29/18 and an expiration date of 12/11/18. Below that, it says "Upon endorsement serves as temporary I-551 evidencing permanent residence for 1 year". We are confused about the actual expiration date. Can my wife travel and return till 12/11/18 (expiration date on stamp) or till 07/26/2019 (1 year after endorsement)?

 

PLEASE HELP!

I've been waiting atleast a month before you entered and still waiting my last response was that they will respond in 90 days. The passport stamp does serve as the green card for 1 year after the date it was stamped upon arriving in the country, she dont pay the expire date no mind on the actual visa it's the stamp that matters after your first arrival

Thanks so much for your prompt response. What do you think the problem is? Is there an issue with your case? Each time we've called, they say "there's no problem".

I'm not sure what's your situation but I do know theres a huge backlog at some the offices that's prints the cards currently and that maybe the issue

Hello Readysetgo1. I have an update that may be useful to you. I finally got my wife's GC to be processed. We should receive it in the mail within the week.

 

So, as I mentioned earlier, we'd been waiting over 5 months since my wife first arrived on her I-551 CR1 visa. After many calls and emails, we made no progress.

 

So last week, we called again, and I got someone on the phone who was awesome and fixed our issue. He said that, when a CR1 first enters, their picture and finger prints should be taken at the immigration desk at the airport. This would serve as the "biometrics" for DHS as all prior encounters were with the embassy overseas. Anyway, he said sometimes, the pictures and/or prints aren't taken at the airport or aren't transferred for whatever reason. He created a new biometrics appointment for my wife and faxed us the appointment letter immediately. Appointment was for 2 days later. Attended the appointment last week where her picture and prints were taken. As of today, our status changed to "Card is being produced".

 

So call USCIS and ask to have your call escalated to a "second level". If/when you get someone, don't accept "we are working on your case, and we'll let you know". Instead, politely ask if your biometrics transferred from customs/border patrol at the airport. If not, request they create a profile and send you for a biometrics appointment at a nearby Application Support Center.

 

Hope you find success as we did.
