How to track physical green card deliver?

[bcrew13 3]

My wife has been in the US since December, has a stamped IV in her passport good for 1 year, but we have not received anything for her permanent residents card yet? Is there any way to find out the timeline for delivery? 

We filed her case in Europe in which they said the delivery of her green card can take up to a year, but if the IV is only good for a year how do we make sure she gets it before the temporary I-551 expires? Can't find any way to contact anyone or track her case since everything has already been approved.

Did you pay the $220 fee?

You can call the USCIS number and say infopass. That way you can get connected to a human and will be able to schedule an appointment with your local office so your wife can get a new stamp in her passport in case the card still hasn't arrived closer to December. 

 

They won't be able to tell you anything about the status of the current card.

Welp, just found the new code, didn't realize it came with the payment that we made when she arrived.

 

It says card was destroyed a week ago because it could not be delivered. So we waited 8 months and the card ended up being destroyed even though the address was correct? How do I avoid it not being able to be delivered again? I will be applying for the I-90 with the same address...

How do people track though? If I type in the receipt we received it just says are case is approved.

You may be typing in the wrong case number. When you paid the immigrant visa fee online, an email with an IOE case number should have been sent. Type that number in.

I typed in the one from the Email and triple checked. Unfortunate that it would take so long and we would receive no notice or anything.

If your green card was marked as "undeliverable" and subsequently destroyed, and the I-90 takes 8 months, what is the the applicant supposed to do when their Passport IV stamp expires? 

 

We sent an email to USCIS, but won't get a response for a while. Our I-90 has been received, but they estimate biometrics in 4 months, and a decision in 8 months and my wife's IV expires in December.

Get an ADIT stamp.  Call USCIS, say "InfoPass", tell the agent you need a new stamp, go to the InfoPass appointment, bring your I-90 receipt.

Perfect, I appreciate it.
