December 23 is a tough date, right around the holidays when a lot of workers take vacation days. Give it about 30 days and then start making noise about your card.

You may start looking for work now, you are work authorized with your Cr-1 visa

good luck

When you entered the US with your IR-1, you received permanent resident status. The stamp in your passport along with your visa is your temporary proof of that while waiting for your actual green card. Permanent residents do not need to apply for work permits. You are already legally allowed to work.
