Hello everyone,

I have a quick question and I hope someone can help me.

My husband arrived in the USA on September 7 and we paid for his green card on the 11th. We were wondering how long it takes to receive the green card. Thank you in advance

For my husband, we paid before the entry.  We got his card exactly 90th day of entry.  (Houston, TX).  It varies, we have chat group that they have received theirs quickly.  
If you guys have not received GC on by January 15, 2024 (90 days from application (sep 11) for you), then you can file inquiry online.

Regardless though, you can use the endorsed visa as your I-551 stamp as it is the temporary green card.

Did the SS Card arrived already?  If yes, then yes, he can start working.  endorsed visa I-551 (as replied in your other pose) is the temporary LPR/green card.
Once SS card arrives, you then get driver's license, accept legal work, etc.
