I thought it valid for six months.

The visa you used to travel and enter the US on was valid for 6 months. The stamp in your passport that you received when you arrived in the US is valid for 12 to act as a green card while you wait for your actual green card.

Immigrant visas usually say "UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR"

Thank you for that information. I didn’t realized that information was right there in my passport.

Go to the SSA office. My husband did not get his originally. We went into the office and they informed us that all of his information was not input at the POE. They stated they had the information but it had not been submitted. We took our marriage license and my Drivers License. They finished the paperwork and he had his card within 2 weeks.

Did you mark the box on the ds260 for immigration to apply for the SS card?

if not,  you have to take your passport showing the IR1 stamp to ss office and apply yourself

 

green card came here in exactly a month from day he arrived

SS card was also fast but can't remember the date

I’ve been in the US for a month, I haven’t received any social or green card in the mail. How long does it take to get both social and green card?  Thank you.

That is exactly what happens to me, so what I did is just went to the social security office near me and apply for social security even tho I opted to do it at the same time I was applying for my visa. And just for less than a week I then got it.  

For my permanent resident card, it just arrived today, and I've been here for almost 3 months now.  Just make sure you already pay your immigration fee.

The same thing happened to a lot of people. I did pay my immigration fee before I traveled, I will go to the social security office on Monday. I’m hoping for the green card soon so I can travel for my daughter graduation.

Yes just bring your passport and birth cert.

You can travel now if you wish. The endorsed immigrant visa inside your passport is a valid I-551 (aka Green Card) document. CBP will accept it for US re-entry. Sometimes there are incompetent foreign airline check-in staff that don't know this. If that happens request for their supervisor, etc.
