VISA approved, when does the Green Card come?

[moizahmedv1 0]

Hi everyone, my wife was approved after her interview! She already received her passport and packet back in Calgary with her CR1 Visa! Woohoo!

I'll try to have her do a writeup in the next few days of what her interview was like, so others can see it and maybe get some guidance.

However, it's been 2 weeks now, and I'm wondering how long it takes for the green card to arrive. Does it arrive at the petitioner's house (mine) or hers in Calgary? Does it usually take a while to come in? Thanks everyone, and for all your help with every question we've asked.

The GC will arrive in a month or so AFTER she arrives in the US. Now, you pay the $165 immigrant fee for the GC production.

Oh, gotcha! I must have missed that part. Do I wait for an email like the NVC ones telling us to pay, or can I be proactive and go pay now? Where exactly is this paid?

Nevermind, we didn't see that paper with the packet. It's all good, we'll pay on the USCIS ELIS site. Thanks!
