How long does it take to receive green card after entering US? Has covid slowed down green card processing? Im trying to figure out how long it will take to receive green card after entering USA on a CR1/IR1 visa. 

It takes anywhere from 3 to 9 months. However, you don't need the physical green card to prove you are a permanent resident. Once you enter the US on a CR1/IR1 visa, your passport is stamped with a I-551 stamp in your passport indicating you are a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR). You can use that stamp as authorization to work and travel.

My wife came to US on 1/16 and her permanent residence card was mailed yesterday. I was quite surprised. She also got her SSN card in a week after she arrived.
