Hi everyone! turns out when my MIL came to the country and they questioned her, she gave our new address (a miracle she remembered!). And they told her that's not what they have on file (she says they were trying to intimidate her haha) But she held her ground and stated that her son recently moved. So they wrote down the address, and we got her new Social Security Card a couple weeks ago in the mail to our new home! Still waiting on the Green Card though. It's been 4 weeks now, is this normal? We did pay the immigration fee like 1 day after she came in (I know we were supposed to do it before, that was our bad).

Thank you all. This is all helpful info. On top of everything though, we moved. So I need to make sure if they are sending a SS or green card that they have the right address. Would we need to call the USCIS or the DOS for that to check? Otherwise, as soon as she gets home, we're checking her visa stamp to get her A number and DOS case ID that I'm reading on the immigration fee payment page we need to check if we've paid that fee yet or not.

Hello everyone! My US Citizen husband did all the steps necessary and his mother is officially in the US today! My understanding is she enters as a permanent resident. What is the next step now to get her a physical green card? Do we still need to do an Adjustment of Status since she is already a PR? Does the government just automatically send a green card? (We moved so our address is now old with what my husband used to petition for her) Can we get her social security card before getting her green card? I can't seem to find a website that clearly describes how to get these physical cards next. Let me know if you know, thank you! If it helps, she just immigrated from Lima Peru to Tampa Florida. Thanks!
