My son wrote me this: Okay, so my Green Card was on hold because of an address change issue. What happened next is absolutely maddening and deserves a post on its own. Calling them is pure torture. I found what seems to be a very "convenient error" designed to reduce call volume: At the end of the prompts, the machine repeats your case number and asks you to press 1 to confirm. Right after that prompt, the call goes into a 15-second silence and then drops/hangs up. I figured out that if you press the * or # key, and then press 1 immediately (bypassing the machine's slow confirmation prompt), the system connects you. What a "coincidence" that the step that fails is the one that cuts you off! When I finally got through to a representative to remove the hold: She asks me to confirm my address. I read her the address exactly as it appears on my own forms She tells me none of the addresses they have on file are correct. She claims the wrong address is on a form called I-551. The HUGE Problem: I have never filled out an I-551 form! My Green Card is a result of my DS-260 application, and the addresses on file are those I provided there. The agent, instead of fixing the internal data inconsistency they have, simply told me: "You need to get a lawyer." The last document o communication from the uscis, was the fee of the 235 for the imvisa fee, and that receip doesnt contain neithe rmy name nor address, just numbers Looks like the address hold was just the appetizer. The bureaucratic nightmares continue...

Hey everyone, My gut feeling was right I finally got the official word after digging into this. The Problem: My Green Card has been on "HOLD" for the last two months. The Reason: It wasn't standard processing time; it was a glitch related to my change of address (AR-11). The Proof: I checked with a USCIS office, and they confirmed the case was stopped due to this administrative issue, not normal processing delays. This is why I was pushing for action and not just accepting the three-month advice. Waiting would have meant another month or two of nothing happening because the process was literally frozen. Lesson learned: If your timeline feels wrong, DON'T JUST WAIT! Call and investigate. There might be an administrative block only you can unfreeze. Now, off to resolve this hold! Thanks again to everyone for the input.

Even in the DMV for the Real ID the wanted that greencard, it was not until a second visit, with a supervisor that wanted to proceed with the passport, this time i was present to witness that

apparently some employers seems reluctant to take that.

Because several jobs has asked him for its green card

Hello everyone, As i stated before, my son entered the U.S. on August 18th. Today is October 26th, and I still have not received his physical Green Card. He paid the USCIS Immigrant Fee online on April 18, 2025, (before the entry). When he checked my case status at the USCIS Case Status website, I keep getting the following message: "On April 18, 2025, we received your USCIS Immigrant fee payment for your Permanent Resident Card related to your immigrant visa. We will be processing the request for production of your Permanent Resident Card. You should receive your Permanent Resident Card within 90 days of your entry into the United States or within 90 days after your USCIS Immigrant Fee payment is received. If you do not receive your Permanent Resident Card, visit the USCIS Contact Center webpage at www.uscis.gov/contactcenter. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address" The 90-day window from the date of entry (August 18th) is approaching quickly. Additional Issue: He tried to add the case to his online account at my.uscis.gov to check for more details, but he still cant find the Online Access Code. The document containing the code was left in his country. Question: Has anyone experienced a similar delay after paying the Immigrant Fee and entering the U.S. with a visa? Should he wait until the 90-day mark (around November 16th) before contacting USCIS to file a "Card Not Received" request? Any advice on the next steps or how to quickly get a new Online Access Code would be greatly appreciated!

I was exploring the myUSCIS website. After I entered my credentials, I navigated to a site that showed me some benefits. I accessed this through a specific site. But I left it for later. When I tried to log in to the same site again, I was taken to something else. to here: I see that the address at the top changes; one says 'dashboard' and the other says 'onboarding.' I haven't done anything besides logging in with my credentials. When I get the 'onboarding' page and manually try to change the address to 'dashboard,' the page gives me an error. What's going on?"

Thank you so much for your support and the great advice. It really helps me feel less alone in this. I will take your advice. This Sunday I will start looking for lawyers to set up consultations for Monday. I don't want to drag this out any longer. Regarding the property manager: they tell me they have nothing to do with it because the parking lot is managed by a separate company called ROC City Leasing. I'm not sure if this is a private company or a government institution. When you say "property manager," do you mean this parking management company? In my contract with ROC City Leasing, it states that parked vehicles must be "properly registered with them" (it does not specifically mention having physical license plates) and must display a parking pass. The car was purchased very quickly, so I didn't have time to officially register this specific car with them yet. However, I did place the parking pass from my other vehicle clearly in the window. The tow truck driver either didn't see it or ignored it. I know the person who reported it did so because the car had no plates, but ROC City Leasing's own rules require the pass, not the plates.

thank you for that info, he is going to be very happy for that he is crazy anxious for finishing the pending things in DR. Regarding the towing car case, we are still looking for lawyers

oh, i didnt read that, even when it says that it does expires today sept 5?

So, he definitely need that GC to go out and to be able to enter back, right? because he is waiting anxiously to go back to DR to sell some stuff and to come back a,d he has plans for the next month

Yeha, thats what i want to know, how do i track it? i was expecting something like: issued/printed shipped half the ocean arriving at your door.... is not a tracking like that?

He entered Aug 18, but he paid everything some months earlier, about mid April.

i received about 10 days ago his SS, approximatly when (i guess it was before that) in time was that supposed to be received?
