My hubby entered 10days after you on a cr1 and we haven't received anything yet...not even a welcome letter. Guess it might take a couple of more weeks.

Citizenship next step!

Hi Richi. Claudia received her welcome letter and greencard the same day and it was at 5 weeks post POE. Hang in there, you will get it very soon. Oh, if you have not received your SSN (if you don't have one from before) you can go to the SSN office 3 weeks post POE and apply. It then takes a couple of weeks to get it in the mail. Hope you two are doing well.

It should be arriving soon. Watch for your welcome letter and you can use the receipt number on it to track production of the green card through the USCIS site. Good luck!
