Does anybody know How long  it usually takes to receive the Green Card after your entry in The US. They said it would take 2 weeks it's been 5 weeks now and I didnt receive neither my GC nor my SSN. I called the SSN office to try to know whats going on and they said I didnt even have my name on the SSN system.

 

PS: I asked to receive my SSN together with my GC.

It can take up to a few months after entry.......

USCIS says 90 days: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/expect-green-card

 

Also did you pay the fee after visa issuance? https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee

For recent folks, mileage has been varying quite a bit. Some SSN are issued 3 days after entry and GC 90+ days whereas others have received GC a week after POE and still await SSN...

Open a case inquiry for the GC if you hit 90 days with no sign of it.

USCIS?

Here's the link: https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayONPTForm.do?sroPageType=onpt Select "OS155A"

 

Input the IOE number that was emailed when USCIS Immigrant Fee was paid.
