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!
