Anyone entered with cr1 waiting green card?

[Abcd1234 102]

4 months since entry,  haven't gotten green card yet, fees all paid. Anyone else waiting??? Just need assurance in mind that we r not alone

It took my aunt 4 months to receive her card last Sept, way before the pandemic so it is definitely longer waiting now.

Mine took 9 weeks, I'd probably contact them as it sounds like 120 days has passed.

I keep reading on the news that they are halting green card productions is that true?

"Without telling Congress, the administration has scaled back the printing of documents it has already promised to immigrants — including green cards, the wallet-size I.D.’s legal permanent residents must carry everywhere to prove they are in the United States lawfully.

In mid-June, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ contract ended with the company that had been printing these documents. Production was slated to be insourced, but “the agency’s financial situation,” USCIS said Thursday, prompted a hiring freeze that required it to ratchet down printing.

 

Of the two facilities where these credentials were printed, one, in Corbin, Ky., shut down production three weeks ago. The other facility, in Lee’s Summit, Mo., appears to be operating at reduced capacity.

 

Some 50,000 green cards and 75,000 other employment authorization documents promised to immigrants haven’t been printed, USCIS said in a statement. The agency said it had planned to escalate printing but that it “cannot speculate on future projections of processing times.” In the event of furloughs — which the agency has threatened if it does not get a $1.2 billion loan from Congress — “all agency operations will be affected.”

 

...

Normally, within 48 hours of an applicant’s approval, USCIS’s online system indicates that a card has been printed. Immigration attorneys across the country have been puzzled recently because these status updates never appeared. Many thought the delays were tied to covid-19, which has caused other service disruptions.

One Philadelphia attorney, Anu Nair, said a USCIS officer let slip in early June that all contractors were about to be laid off and to expect long delays with paperwork.

 

Memphis-based attorney Elissa Taub inquired about her client’s missing green card and got a cryptic email: “The system has to be updated so that a card can be produced. You will receive the [card] in the mail once the system in updated [sic].”

I am on the same boat, in fact even worse, my status is stuck at “immigration fee received” Still, my POE date was 19th of March. 
 

Looks like we are hardly the only ones. 😕

I entered two days before you and my status says the same after two inquiries with no response I called and was told to call back in two weeks (this Friday)  if nothing changes.....did you receive your card yet?

Hi,

The inquiry i put on the phone in earlyJuly never even got assigned to anybody, either. What happened was, i moved so i filed a Request for change of address online in late August, which did get an acknowledgment from USCIS via e-mail on Sept 1st, the day we moved. They said their records indicate that the card will be sent to production in 30 days. I did not call to verify change of address, i saw countless people who reported doing that and theirs still got sent to the old address. So i wasn’t much hopeful. Then the status changed to Card Being Produced on September 4th, then Card Sent on September 11th.  I still can’t believe it myself, but against all odds, i received the card in my new address just yesterday. So for me it seems like the verification of change of address triggered motion and finally things started to move. 
 

i really wish i could give you a formula, some steps to do other than eventually contacting your representative( congressman or  senator) so someone actually puts things in motion. 
 

Other than that, i suggest getting state ID without waiting for the card.  managed to get a state ID with my visa on my passport , which serves as the GC for one year upon entry. Now i have to do it again in this state, but the state ID/ DL is good for applying for jobs together with SSN. 
 

Wish  you the best luck with this!
