Green card arrival tracking for IR-5 arrivals

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

My parents entered the U.S. on immigrant visas and were given the IR-5 endorsement stamp. I know it takes anywhere between 1-3 months to receive the physical green card in the mail, but I was wondering if there was any way to track it on the USCIS website or if we just have to wait for it blindly.

Use the IOE receipt numbers ( issued when the GC  fee was paid) and follow on their myuscis.com account. Or use “case tracker” on the uscis website

We didn’t get anything yet. A lawyer we consult with claims we should be getting the green cards in the mail around a month after arriving in the U.S. It’s only been a couple of weeks so still kind of early. Just following the tracking numbers.
