How long does the actualy green card take to arrive?

[USResidentTNHolde 0]

My interview was in early august and I received my passport back with the visa in it a few days later. Came back to the US with it and have been waiting for the actual green card to arrive in the mail ever since. Is it normal to not have received it 10+ weeks later?

Have you already paid the USCIS Immigrant Fee of $220?

They’re moving really fast nowadays, mine arrived in less than a month.

Yes I did. The USCIS website lists my case status as "Immigrant Visa Fee Payment Received" dated August 8th. No further updates on the website as far as I can tell.

Hmm I wonder why mine still hasn't arrived then. Do you mind me asking where you received it?

Really hope it didn't get lost in the mail.

It arrived in California. If you haven’t received a tracking number on your USCIS portal it wouldn’t be lost in the mail. After immigrant fee payment received > In production > Mailed out > USPS has picked up your card > Delivered

Thanks! I was wondering what the case status progression was.

I and some others in the tracking thread below had to wait 120+ days before our plastic GC was delivered.  Check the latest posts for recent timelines --

Question about tracking case status on USCIS - I paid the immigrant fee and wanted to add the case to my account on USCIS website. When it asked for the receipt number, I was able to find that number from the payment confimration email (IOE). It is also asking for the online access code (OAC), but I cannot locate that anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks in advance!

From my recollection, I didn't use the IOE to link my case. It asked me for an alien registration number and another number on my visa. From there it asked me to answer some questions using data they already had on file like address, DOB, etc.

 

The portal does like the IOE receipt number now though, above the status.

It seems to depend which of the 2 approved vendors is printing the GC.  Ours took 177 days I think?  I sent an inquiry after 90 days through MyUSCIS to find out.  Others receive them straight away.
