We entered on 04/08/2007 and still no welcome letter and no card in the mail.

28 calendar days and 20 working weekdays gone so far since we entered.

Called the USCIS customer service line and they said that they are just a call center and do not have the ability to look up status of cases to find out if and where our card was mailed.

Hi there. Well, my husband entered on a CR-1 visa at the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge (Canada to US--Buffalo) on April 21st. He got his welcome letter on May 7th. We had heard nothing from social security and called them twice. On the second call they told him that he was not in the system and that he would have to come in. So he went in and reapplied (even though he had checked the box on the 230 requesting the card) in person on May 7th. He received the card today, May 14th. We still haven't gotten the green card yet. I'll let you all know when we do.

Same thing happened to my wife's social security card. But her green card arrived days after the welcome letter.

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

Interview took 223 days from the I-130 filing date. Immigrant Visa was issued right after the interview
