Travelling outside the US on I551 Stamp on passport

[Boiler 46,547]

How old are your daughters.

 

2005, you have interviewed? Visas issued have you moved, where are you?

We moved Christmas day in 2024. Our daughters are 20 and 19.

Many of us move and either have or the passage of time means there are aged parent(s) a long way away. 

 

Actually seems a common situation where I am and people I know who moved here and have aged parents in different States.

 

I was just doing the maths and thinking well she cant be that old and I assume she has a support system.

 

Have your GCs arrived?

She is 78. Her support system comprises mainly household staff, a driver and a guard. Green cards for the wife and daughters arrived which is when we realised that I had forgotten to pay my immigrant fee. Super dumb. I paid that on March 15. It says 90 days. What's the likelihood of it arriving before June 15th? I need to appear before the British parliamentary committee on 6th May about religious persecution of minority groups in Pakistan but I might have to send my apologies. Was originally planning on travelling to the UK and then Pakistan. Do you think I should risk it with CBP I551 stamp?

A full name has been removed from the opening post and a quote of it.  This is a VERY public forum.

Traveling with a temporary GC (endorsed IV) is the same as traveling with a physical GC.  Only you can assess your level of risk, but don’t believe all the hype in the media.  
 

Good Luck!

Thank you. Puts my mind at ease. This morning I checked my Green card application status and it says:

 

"We have approved your Form OS155A Immigrant Visa and Alien registration, Receipt number ______. On March 21, 2025 we ordered your card to be produced. We will mail your card to the address you gave us."

 

How long after this, should one expect the physical green card to arrive?

Could be 3-6 weeks.

My status on USCIS website shows this below. How long after this should I expect to get the physical green card? Asking to firm up my travel plans to UK and Pakistan. A poster on the other thread says 3 to 6 weeks. Do other posters agree? Is it safe to make travel plans for the first week of May? Sorry to keep asking these questions, but like I said earlier, the advice I get on this forum is almost always on point. Hence I lean on it for these questions. 

 

Card is Being Produced. "We have approved your Form OS155A Immigrant Visa and Alien registration, Receipt number ______. On March 21, 2025 we ordered your card to be produced. We will mail your card to the address you gave us."

Make sure your name is in/on your mailbox, but you should get it very soon now (possibly this week).
