Green card delivery

[Amisharjil 26]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone know how long will it take to get the physical green card after paying the fee. I just paid usd220. I cant seem to find a time line or where can I check my status.

If you’re a CR1/IR1 case, the timeline according USCIS website is: it can take up to 120 days after the payment or your POE date, whichever was the last event in your case.

 

Some people got lucky and received it within just weeks. Others like me got it a few days before the 120 days mark. You can check my timeline on my signature, down below.

 

I apologize for not being able to find the website at the moment. But if you have your accounts with both USCIS portals, just follow the links that say ‘green card’, on of them has the info I just provided.

if you paid that fee before arrived the state, it would be 1-2 weeks after you arrived.

It is very unlikely to arrive before 4 weeks.. and possibly will take up to 4 or 6 months. 120 days from POE is considered normal processing

In this case can I exit and enter the US with an i551 stamp?

As far as I know, yes. I heard from other Germans that this is fine until you actually physically receive the green card. I am going home soon for my sisters wedding and will have no green card by then. At least it is highly unlikely.

My husband paid my greencard fee the day after my POE. I received my greencard a month after. It's not the same for everyone though. As Dee elle mentioned, 120 days is still within the normal processing time.

I had my interview on July 26th (Thursday), received my passport on August 31st (Tuesday) because I was allowed to personally pick it up.

On that day, I paid for the immigrant fee and left for the US a day later (Aug 1st). I received my green card and social security card in the mail on August 13th. However, I went to see the Social Security Administration because I was told that it is a hit or miss as to whether or not they send out the social security card. When I arrived, I was told that they had already tried to issue it but couldn't. All in all, it was good I went.
