My wife entered the US on June 22, 2017.  She received her SS card on July 3rd, 2017, and her Green Card on July 15th, 2017.......both via USPS.

I entered on June 24th 2018, got my Social Security on July 3rd and my Green card on July 28th both in the mail. When I entered first I only came the to the US for 3 days for a housing visit. I didn't have my GC by the time I left so when I actually moved to the US on July 19th I had to go through the visitors line again and the guy sent me to secondary. The person in secondary told me that I was fine to go and that I shouldn't have been sent there as it was my second entry. When you have the I-551 visa page in your passport you are free to come and go for 1 year.

My husband entered on July 5th 2018 and got his card only on August 15th. And SSN came 2 weeks later. 

Since there was no movement or tracking for SSN we went to the office a week before we got the green card and the lady mentioned they won’t begin processing until the immigration status on their side changes to Permanent Resident (which in our case changed only after the green card was printed)

I'm happy to hear that they are still getting those cards out to new LPRs so quickly........
