Green cards are prepared twice a year and if your POE date is just after the last cut-off date, you will get it after 6 - 7 months of your POE date, so don't worry. Did you get your Social Security Number! If not yet, then go to one of the closest SS Office and get one.

Are you sure? How do you know it? I doubt that, coz I saw people getting greencards all year around, it takes usually from couple of weeks to a month to get it. There were very few exceptions that didnt get their green cards fast. My friends who immigrated to the US in winter got theirs fast, also those who immigrated in May got theirs fast too and I got an email saying mine is being printed yesterday. So I am sure it is more than just 2 times a year!

I have the same question.....my husband's POE was June 29th and he still has not received his green card or his social security card. Am I correct in saying he can go to the SS office and get his ss card with his stamped passport then begin to work or does he have to actually wait till he receives his green card also?

It was twice an year when I got one in 2003. This link states that you can apply for renewal green card 90 days before it expired, which suggests that it may be at least 4 times an year now.

Pretty sure that's not true.
