Hello guys , 

 

Anyone around San Francisco area (San Jose ) waiting for green card ? Or has port of entry around may 19 ? so that I can get an idea how long it may take or 

we are in an unusual case. 

 

It's for my dad. We are still waiting for the physical card.  No luck so far. 

 

USCIS Immigrant Fee Payment Date:  April 10 2023

Entered POE: May 19 2023

Card in production: June 17 2023


 

He just had a medical emergency and we had to go to the ER. 

And, the traveler insurance we have doesn't cover almost nothing. So wondering if its better to go back home where he can get proper medical care. 

 

I have been trying to call USCIS for infopass but there is no luck. 

The automated AI agent circles around and hangs up on its own. 

 

Thanks

Hello Guys, 

Does anyone can share how the stamp in passport look like with which my dad can travel and come back within a year ? 

We have something like this and we are not sure if this is the stamp - or they forgot to put the right one  .

He is still waiting for the physical green card and has to travel back home for medical emergency. 

thanks

This is identical to the one my wife received upon entry. She already got her green card.

The visa + CBP entry stamp serves as the temporary green card, which is equivalent to a plastic green card for all legal purposes, including travel.  This note will be printed on the visa itself -- "UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR."  In case it's not clear, I-551 = green card, and endorsement = CBP entry stamp.

Thanks . 

Do you know - when does the one year starts ? 

  • The date the visa was approved. In that case he has until April 10 to come back 
  • The date the of Port of entry . in that case he has may 20 to come back

I am worried how long it may take to take care of his medical emergency. 

Also - when the green card arrives, if I take it to him back home , does it help ? 

I mean he can use the green card to come back ? That gives him couple extra months

1. POE
2. Within one year, he can use passport + visa + stamp to enter the country. Of course, you can also send the green card to him, if you don’t consider the risk of mailing

USCIS Immigrant Fee Payment Date:  April 10 2023

Entered POE: May 19 2023

Card in production: June 17 2023

Card in production ** again ** July 14 2023

 

We are traveling tomorrow for medical emergency.

Does he needs to be at home to get the physical green card ?

Can someone else can receive it for him ?

Does USPS - deliver in the mail box without any complication ?  

 

Did anyone experience with two Card in production dates?

Thanks
