90 days still waiting for the green card

[Google 3]

Hi,

 

We made the green card payment 90 days ago and I am still waiting for my visa. I entered the us in The first week of June. I have got my social security card. How do I give a proof of my work authorization? 

 

Cr1 visa

Since you entered via a CR-1/IR-1, then your endorsed visa in your passport gives you full "Green Card" rights (including authority to work) while you are waiting for the plastic card.

Show them the I-9 instructions and your acting green card (the endorsed visa).

At the bottom of the CR1 visa reads the I 551 sentence giving you permission to work

some embassies use a I 551 stamp

so,  check the passport for either of these

Okay. So is this normal that I haven’t received my green card yet? It’s been 90 days since we paid for the immigrant visa.

I would contact USCIS 90 days after you entered the US.

Also, if you have your Social Security card, that is another valid proof of work authorization, beside the visa on the passport

Yes, I do have the ssn card. Okay. I’ll contact them after 90 days of entering the US. Thanks

The CBP-endorsed visa is already a List A document: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/acceptable-documents

I paid before entering the us, so in my case it’s the first case.

I-551 stamp in the passport with visa and SSN are all you need to work.  My husband entered the US a week ago with CR-1 and he is actively looking for jobs now with I-551 and SS card.  At POE in Miami the officer said it could "take a very long time" for the green card, as they are backed up, very typical for USCIS.

Thanks. Yeah. I didn’t know the I551 stamp is enough.
