WHEN DOES USCIS SEND MY CARD

[EMILIA12 0]

So yesterday at 11:30 am I got the card production email, today at 7:30 am I got another email same thing card production. I believe I will get a third email but would be that they mailed my approval, right? and that's when they mail the card. When can I call and get the tracking number for usps??

Thanks

No tracking number (that I know of) for the GC. Just comes regular mail. If you've gotten the notice of production it should be on its way soon.

I heard from members here that the new USCIS system sends it usps priority mail with a tracking number. I got an email with production and today at 7 am another production email

Certainly no tracking number... USCIS doesn't do this kind of thing. If all goes well you should be getting your card in a week or so.

If you don't receive it soon, it's probably because of the same situation that happened to me: although my case was approved more than 30 days ago AND I did receive the "card production ordered" email, I learned today from an IO officer that as I suspected, my card in fact has not been ordered. He had to order it today. It's quite annoying specially if you have to travel abroad as I did last week... they don't accept the passport stamp and always end up sending you for further confirmation that the stamp is "real". Go figure...

This non-production issue unfortunately seems to be quite common, as it's also one of the options while booking an Infopass. Unfortunately they won't let you question it until a month has passed, even though you will sense if your card has not been ordered. In my case, I have to wait one more month now to get the card... Hope your card reaches you very soon!

And do you get an email that uscis mailed an approval( after the 2 emails for the production of the new card))???

I never received any emails about card production or tracking numbers. Just the letter informing it had been renewed and would arrive "in 30-60 days". The card itself arrived 10 days after the letter. You should get yours soon.

I just got 2 emails for my card one says ordered one says production.

Most September filers that have been approved seem to get the card within 5-7 days of the approval.

normally you get 2 email for production then last will be that they mailed the approval notice (when they ship the card) 2nd level officer will give you the tracking if you call. they don't email a tracking no if you don't ask for it . 2nd level officer told me this last night.

Yes you're right you can get a tracking number for the GC. I was able to track mine as they send it via priority mail. A tier-2 agent gave the tracking number to me so I was able to track it.

Yes there is a tracking number. And yes USCIS do provide it if you ask for it. Me and my friends were able to track the delivery of our GCs...

You're welcome! Five days upon receiving the email that my GC was mailed I called USCIS. I know that it was sent via priority mail so I was wondering why I haven't received it and that's what I told the Tier 2 agent that I talked to. She then gave me the tracking number so I can check it on my own and do follow ups at USPS.

you guys are completely right. after reading your answers here, I called them and asked to get the tracking number and a tier-2 agent. they do give you a tracking number, if your card has been really produced. mine hasn't... agent said from the day it's ordered - at VSC in my case, it takes about 3 days for the contractor in Kentucky to get the notice or whatever it is, and then he produces the card. they told me to call again on Monday as they will only have a tracking # when the card is really produced and sent out. what a shame they don't send this tracking # automatically instead of leaving people guessing and anxious...

thanks for this update guys, I don't think it's been widespread...
