How long before one receives their Green Card after entering the US via the consulate process

[Tcainkb 11]

Hi,

 

My Mother was recently approved for a Green Card via the consulate process. We have paid all the green card fees and so on, however once she enters the US how long will it be before she receives her green card in hand?

 

Thanks,

A few weeks to a few months..........My wife's Social Security card arrived in 11 days.......her Green Card arrived about 2 weeks after that........others have reported longer times....good luck.

Thank you for the response.

 

So her SSN card would come automatically without having to go to the office?

It should arrive automatically IF she marked the box on the DS-260 to receive a SS card.

I totally forgot about that portion, yes we did select for it to be automatically sent. 

Thank you for your help

Anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months. Can't do a case enquiry on it until after 120 days.

How long did it take for Consular processing? I just submitted 130 for both my parents yesterday, they are in Jamaica as well.
