waitimg for Greencard question.

[Tarik 10]

Hi everybody.

I've been here in the US for almost a month now and I haven't got my Greencard yet.

my question is do I have to apply for greencard and social security number or just wait till they mail it to me ? and if they're gonna mail it to me, how long does it normally take ?

any help will be appreciated.

You should have a I-551 stamp in passport, I believe that stamp is good for 1 year. USCIS is tremendously backed up from a flood of petition filings this past summer and this seems to be affecting all mailings from them.

You can go to the SSA office to find out if they are processing your card, if not, you can file for one. You can also do it over the phone but they pay more attention to you if you go in person.

Also, green cards are taking about 7 weeks to arrive since the USCIS is so backed up entering information in their system. At least that's what I was told.
