Green card not arrived after IR5 entry

[seanyb719 1]

Hi,

My parents arrived in the US on a IR5 visa on 5/5/16. They both have SSN, and my mothers green card arrived a couple of weeks later. They also did their driving test a couple of weeks ago and again my mothers arrived in the mail. However, my Dad has not received either. The passport stamp runs out in October so i'm eager to be proactive before it becomes too late. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

It has been taking around 3 months for a lot of people. I would wait the 3 months and if it doesn't arrive by then, make an infopass.

Ok understood. However, what happens if nothing is received by the expiry date?

You paid the fee i assume? Have you called the USCIS? If it doesnt come within 6 months start with an infopass and service request. Then contact your representatives and ombudsman.

Worst case scenario is that your father gets an I-551 stamp while he waits, but if you're proactive after the 6 month mark, it should be fine.

Yes they paid both fees on entry. My mum tried called USCIS and they were not much help (however I don't know who she spoke to)

Currently although he did the driving test, they will not release his licence due to confirmation of eligibility of immigration status still pending. My father is wanting to work for uber to pass time (he's retired and already bored) but cannot since he does not have his licence. Very frustrating!!!

hi

you're looking at the wrong stamp, the i551 is valid for one year, the one that expires is the visa entry

they had 6 months to enter the country, that stamp is no longer valid since they already entered the country

the i551 as said is valid for a year, so it is good until may of next year

your dad should be able to get the license with the stamp in his passport and his social security number

This is correct.
