Delay in Permanent Resident Cards seems to really be dragging on.

Yesterday I had an infopass appointment to get i-551 stamped since my wife and I will be travelling at the end of this month (JUNE) and the GC has not arrived due to the now famous 'delay'. I asked the USCIS officer what the status was on my cards' production, as in, when should I maybe see it since it was approved and orderded produced on MAY 6th. She said it should arrive around September!!! Wow I am glad I made the infopass appt. to get the stamp, cause I had been waiting and fretting like crazy, wondering why it took so long and since prices for airfare have been going up and up, and so before it got out of control we bought our tickets, but then the GC was not showing up.So even though I drove 300miles to get the i-551 stamp and 5minutes later drive 300miles back home, I am happy to have it done.

That said I do hope for all our sakes the GC production starts moving forward sooner rather than later.

Holy #######, September!

We just barely made it under the wire on this I think-approved April 17, GC came about 3 weeks later.

Not every single greencard is affected by this delay. My step daughters were approved May 19th, cards received Jun 5th.

1. Holy cow that's a long time to wait.

and, more importantly:

2. You drove 300 miles?!

I don't think it is going to be that late, I mean September. Some people have already received the actual plastic Green Cards already. You can expect your GC sometime in July.

Have a nice trip !.....

Yes... 300 miles. The Portland center is our closest one.

In regard to 'ERIC-PRIS' that may indeed be true, but the officer said that not to hold hopes up for anything before September, that that would be a reasonable time for us to wait so well thats all to do I guess.Congrats on your stepdaughter getting hers I wish mine had arrived earlier.
