Got my social security card after 58days and green card after 90days since I arrived to the US (SFO).


Here’s some information and timeline for your reference, hoping it gives you some general ideas :)  CR1-

 

26 Sep USCIS status: Payment received

18 Oct  Date of Entry (SFO)

25 Nov Appointment at local social security 

15 Dec Got Social security card

11 Jan Ordered producing green card

14 Jan Mailed card

16 Jan Got green card 

 

** for my social security card, They didn’t send it to me within 3weeks, so I called and they asked me to fax an application form (SS-5) and my CR1 visa to them, later on they scheduled an appointment for me to apply it at the local social security office in person.

 

hoping the information would be helpful for you guys :)

when did you pay and submit your online application for the green card ? Im trying to figure out how long it will take to receive green card after entering us on a CR1 visa.

My husband paid for green card before we entered the USA . Still nothing for me and my smaller daughter. But my oldest one probably will get it soon. Her status changed on “Card Was Picked Up By The United States Postal Service”. It’s very strange.  Because we paid same time for 3 of us and entered together 🤷‍♀️

I also paid the green card fee before I entered the state. I paid my fee on 26 Sept 2020.
