it's possible that it's still at the POE, or lost at the POE (but findable again at the POE), as

at the POE, is this back-room data-entry operation - lots of folk no one ever sees.

If you can ask yer congress critter to focus on CBP at the POE, it's quite possible the CBP goons will find it, and quickly, then get it moving along to TSC.

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !

[ps - the movement that USCIS described is the movement I've written about prior, so that's a plus]

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

The SSA office may or may not consult the USCIS database. They will if you specifically asked them to look her up in the SAVE db, and some do it anyhow, but sometimes they don't. A month isn't too l

Thanks Darnell! I also thought that it still could be in Dublin at POE.

Thanks for the extra tips and I will keep everyone updated.

Contrats Spoogie on getting your card.

Unfortunately, no updates to report. No word from the USCIS Texas Service Center or from my Congressman's Office. I will post an update when we get one.

Put your ELIS case number into the USCIS case checker and it should pop up a tracking number.

Do you mean it was produced on Friday Jan 9 or the Friday before that?

If it was produced on Friday it may not have left until today (Monday.)

Hi All,

I have received my I-551 (GC) visa stamped on 25th Nov 2014, did POE on 24th Dec 2014 at Abu Dhabi Airport.

In DS-260 I had given a NY address as my permanent US address and for cards delivery. However I went to CA and stayed there for 8 days, returned back to home country on 2nd Jan. During my stay I had once visited to SSN office on 30th Dec. The lady in SSN office told me to get back after 2 weeks (I think 2 weeks after POE) for SSN card requests (like change of delivery address).

Regarding the GC, the ELIS site status is Optimized. Called USCIS they told me to update the ELIS site if I want to change the card delivery address as I had requested for change of card delivery address on call.

I am currently in home country outside of US. My question is I have to change my cards delivery address of both SSN Card and Green Card to California. (But in DS-260 I had given NY address.) Can I do it, is it Possible ?

How should I go about it ?

And is my GC and SSN card production is going as expected, or do I need followup with someone again ?

Please advice. Thanks.

Changing the delivery spot for the Green card (if the SSN wasn't issued after 2-3 weeks after POE, it won't be issued on it's own) is pretty tricky. It involves a lot of work with the USCIS and ELIS trying to get them both on the same page and can result in some major delays. Is it possible to still receive the card in NY?

Paid the fee for In-Laws in ELIS on December 24.

In-Laws POE was JFK Terminal 1 on December 26.

Took them to a local SSA office to get SSN on January 6. Agent said they do the SAVE check there. Made no reference that a number has already been assigned (per answering YES on the DS-260) or to wait since it was only 11 days after entry. Cards received on January 10.

As of today, status in ELIS is Accepted with Case Received on December 24. When I do a check on the USCIS.gov case status website I get case can't be found.

How long should we wait before we start thinking about contacting USCIS or scheduling an INFOPASS appointment?

Here is the information regarding the cases for my in-laws (wife, their daughter, is the petitioner under the IR-5 category, Parents of a USC):

Submit I-130 (2 petitions) to USCIS on May 30, 2013

USCIS approved the cases on March 10, 2014.

Received notice online from USCIS the cases were sent to NVC on March 17, 2014.

NVC received the cases on March 28, 2014

The case numbers were created on Monday, April 28.

We received the numbers by phone on Friday, May 2.

DS-261 became available on both cases late in the evening on Friday, May 2. Both DS-261 filed on Saturday, May 3.

Received emails to my wife regarding AOS at around 8am on Wednesday, May 7. At the same time received emails that were cc of letters sent to my in-laws. However, the date of all of the letters was Monday, May 5.

Received emails regarding the Immigrant Visa Fee at around 11:15am on Wednesday, May 7. IV fees became available online at around 1pm on Wednesday, May 7. Date of invoice was Tuesday, May 8.

Paid all the fees on Wednesday, May 7 at around 1:15pm.

All fees marked as paid and DS-260 become available sometime late on Friday, May 9.

Dropped off IV and AOS packages (in two different envelopes - 1 for AOS and 1 for IV documents) at the local post office at around 2pm on Saturday, May 10.

Submitted DS-260 (for both cases) around 10am on Sunday, May 11.

Both document packages received by NVC on Monday, May 12 (according to Post Office Tracking - one around 1pm and the other around 4pm. Don't know why they got separated.)

Received checklist email for both cases at 4pm on Thursday, June 12 regarding the IV civil documents

Wife called NVC in the afternoon of Friday, June 13 to inquire about the checklist. Told by a representative they are normal and automatic and not to worry. AOS under review. Call back after Tuesday, June 24.
Received a checklist for my father-in-law on Monday, June 16. NVC reviewed his AOS paperwork, but waiting for the documents the requested the week before.

Wife called NVC in the morning of Tuesday, June 17. Told by the agent they don't have the document requested for dad, and they don't have the AOS package for her mom.

Put in a request with our Senator to get more information. Response was mother-in-law is documentary complete and father-in-law was in document review for the military document.

Wife called NVC on the morning of Tuesday, July 1 and spoke with a supervisor regarding her dad's military document. Supervisor said she would look into it.

Supervisor called us and left a voicemail on the morning of Wednesday, July 9 and stated they have located my father-in-law's military documents. Case sent back to document review.

Per conversation with an agent, the expedited request originally requested by email on July 7, was sent to the Embassy on Thursday, July 10.

Received by postal mail on Thursday, August 21 from our Senator regarding the response of another inquiry. Still the same.

Early in the morning on Friday, August 22:

Wife calls the Embassy and was told the IV section doesn't accept calls, and was given a number in the states that turned out to be scheduling assistance for NIV interviews.

Called NVC as soon as they opened and was told the Embassy denied the expedite request, but the case was completed by NVC on Monday, August 18. Wife inquired about interview scheduling, and was given some good information.

At 5 PM on Thursday, September 11, received the interview letters. Interview is scheduled for the morning of October 9.

Mother-in-law approved. Father-in-law placed in Administrative Processing due to follow-up TB test.

CEAC stated ISSUED for my mother-in-law on October 15. DHL had the package for pick up on October 17 but called the wrong number. Package picked up on October 27.

On December 11 mother-in-law received a phone call from the Embassy that the medical is back for my father-in-law and to DHL his passport to them. Passport sent on December 12.

On December 18 CEAC updated to ISSUED for my father-in-law. My wife is happy!!!! Embassy said they gave it to DHL on December 19

Due to a DHL delay the package did not become available for pick up until December 24. USCIS Immigrant Fee paid the same day.

POE: JFK Terminal 1 - December 26, 2014 - They are finally here!!!

Took them to a local SSA office to get SSN on January 6, 2015. Cards received on January 10, 2015.

Green Cards received by priority mail on January 23, 2015 (four weeks after arrival).

Both went to motor vehicles and got state issued ID cards on April 11, 2015.

CRIS !

if you not have an account yet at CRIS, make one nowish.

Enter that IOE number from ELIS into the CRIS system, a case in your portfolio.

The USPS tracking # is listed in the CRIS system, after you log in and review it, when the tracking # is issued.

Don't see status yet? no USPS tracking # assigned yet - and that's ok - give it a few days.

CRIS account is important, please if you not have one, get one!

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
