Still nothing after one year, so I submitted a request for case assistance to the CIS Ombudsman. I can't really tell if that helped - they didn't provide any useful feedback except to say that they'd

Hey guys I have an update/tip,   If you have been waiting a reasonable amount of time (lets say 90+ days) please send USCIS a message through your account. Explain your situation nicely and

No, no fingerprints. My lawyer said that it was better to pay the fees after entering the US, so that's what I did.

 

No, my home address is in Nebraska.

Thank you everyone providing their insights 

For my case,

Nov 8, 2021 Fee paid
Nov 19, 2021 POE: JFK

 

Case status online still stuck at Immigration Fee Received.

Submitted inquiries twice, waiting for the second response.

Extremely frustrating, it's almost 4 days before it hits 120 days since POE.

I posted to this thread some time ago and have an update on my parents' immigration case.

 

Fee Paid: June 2021

Entry: July 2021

Green Cards Received: March 2022

 

As you can see, my case has been on the extreme long end of the timescale. 8 months from entry to receipt of GC.

In that time, my parents have entered the US, left to travel back to their home country, and then traveled back to the US in recent weeks. Also did some other country travel from the US while here and waiting for the GC to arrive.

 

Those that are now beyond 4 months/120 days of waiting, be patient. I inquired to USCIS once to hear about status of card delivery after about 6 months and they responded and cards were delivered few weeks later.

My mother in-law got cross the POE for the first time in Oct 2021. At POE they took her biometrics again even though her case was electronic.
As of today, her Social Security card arrived about 2 weeks after she crossed.  No GC as of today.
Then in Dec 2021, my father in-law crossed for the first time. This time around they did not take his biometrics. My wife asked the officer about it and he said no longer necessary.  His Social Security also arrived about 2 weeks later. As of today no GC in sight.

Update:
3/13/2022: Cards being produced

3/14/2022: Cards being mailed

3/15/2022: Cards picked up by USPS, tracking # provided.

My son paid the immigrant fee Jan 15, 2022, before arriving. He arrived March 12, so we'll see how it goes. We checked his Case Status, "Immigrant Visa Fee Payment Received".
