Hi all,

My wife arrived in Detroit MI on June 30, everything went fine processing her CR1 at the airport and they told us we would get the green card in 2-3 weeks. We are now partially through week 6 and it still hasn't shown up. How long should I wait before I start calling, and who exactly should I call when the time comes?

Thanks,

Jon

I arrived in the USA on May 6, 2014 on CR1, and got my green card in mail in late Jun. I think you can contact USCIS National Customer Service Center at 800-375-5283 if you have not received the green card within 30 days from the date of your arrival.

I'm in the same boat. Wife arrived June 15 and still no green card. I check the USCIS website with the receipt number but it hasn't changed since I paid the green card fee on June 7.

Should also mention the website says to wait until October 5th to contact them about not receiving the card.

It could take up to 90 days but don't worry Usualy 35 to 60 days you should see it.

Want to Speed up NVC Process ?


Check Guides From Guide section for doccuments and list of stuff and follow this steps


Step 1 After USCIS NOA2 Gather all AOS / IV Package Documents In 3 weeks


Between USCIS Approving and NVC Case Number you have 2 to 3 weeks gather all AOS and IV Documents Get package ready.


Step 2 Obtain NVC Invoice and Case number.


​After 2 weeks of NOA2 Keep on Calling NVC every day to get case number And Invoice number


Step 3 Pay First Fee and DS261


After getting NVC Case Number and Invoice Number Log in to webpage Pay First Fee and Fill out DS261 Takes 24 to 38 Hr to get fee status paid.


Step 4 Conform Agent / Ds261 Over Phone and Sent out Documents


Once First fee turns Paid Online ( Usualy 24 to 48 hr) Call NVC And conform choice of agent over Phone If they won't keep on calling them Until someone will Or other fee won't be unlocked.Also Once you get Welcome letter on email Print out Document Checklist sheet And Sent in your documents to NVC


Step 5 Pay Other Fee and Fill out DS260 (Total time from DS 261 to here should be no longer then 15 days )


​Step 6 Conform Document delivery AT NVC And Ask them Processing Time..


Step 7 Check For CC ( Hopefully no REF )


Call them every other day 2 weeks from DS260 and Check status.. Also Check Online NVC Page If you have 3 N/A your case Complete! Congratulation you are almost done.


Step 8 48 Hr After CC Conformation Call NVC For appointment for interview


Congratulation On your NVC CC AND Good Luck with Interview

Within 90 days is relatively normal, although for some people it takes longer

If you have not gotten in within 90 days, then make a service request

It normally takes up to 6 months from payment or entry, whichever is later. 1-3 months was normal for a while but closer to 6 months has been the norm more recently.

My Husband visa/green card was approved on April 18th, 2016 and he came to US on that day from Canada. We live in San Diego and have not received his green card. When I enter our LIN receipt number it says on May 18,2016 our case was sent to immigration by the state department. Has anybody else received such status? Why would it get kick back to immigration?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
