Anyone received their Green Card recently?

I just wanted to check to see if anyone had received their green card recently.  For awhile I was seeing most people have their interview, get approved at or shortly after their interview, and getting their green card in a week or less.  I've been looking in the monthly topics and haven't seen an update like that since a little before/around our interview.  We had our interview on May 14th and haven't received any updates/green card as of yet which I thought was odd based on what I was seeing earlier.  I am wondering if there is now a delay based on the reprinting USCIS is having to do with the notifications/reprints of over 8,500 cards:  See this article https://www.uscis.gov/news/alerts/uscis-recall-incorrectly-dated-green-cards   I'm trying not to worry/wonder about our status, since we weren't explicitly told during the interview we were approved but the IO seemed happy with our interview and answered questions about next steps, but now that we are approaching the 2 week mark it's hard not to wonder. 

 

I've continued to check our status on USCIS and DHS even though they haven't really updated correctly for us in awhile.  We ended up with the User-Defined Error back in March.  On the USCIS site it still shows the last action on our case was on 3/26/18, which is when the error started, and on the DHS site for our case history it still says "We received your case".  The DHS site never updated for biometrics received, interview ready to be scheduled, or interview scheduled for us so I'm not counting on it to update about approval/green card production either.  We had also signed up for text/email notifications when we sent in our original packet and have never received any notifications of case status changes that way either.  So, it's possible that we've been approved and will be in production soon once things get sorted with the above article, it's just the not knowing/unable to track our case that has me starting to worry about a NOID or another interview.

 

So, has anyone who interviewed in May received their green card as of yet?

My interview was May 15, approved on the spot and will get my green card tomorrow based on USPS tracking. Also have you signed up for an account on the new site? That seems to update faster.

That's the site I was referring to when I mentioned the DHS site which still shows our case as received and never updated for biometrics completed, interview ready to be scheduled, or interview scheduled.  I checked it again this morning and it still says Case Received.

 

Glad that you will be receiving your card tomorrow!

Oh wow! I wasn't aware the new site was giving people problems.. Did you try the old one as well??  https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do

 

Thank you! Now the nightmare begins of bringing my household belongings over...

Yep, that's the site where we first got the User-Defined Error when putting in the case number and after creating an account there it shows the case number listed with last activity of 03/26/18.  If I click on the receipt number in there, it just loads a blank page.  So problems on both sites for us, yay!  lol

 

Good luck with getting your household items over, I'm sure that's going to be an ordeal!

Dont worry, it may take a little longer than other cases but I believe soon you will get it update or receive GC. They may need to check something more but keep your mind up that everything will be good. 

 

My interview was on April 27 and it went well, after that the status changed to Interview was completed and my case must be reviewed for about  3 weeks, I just got updated this week that my case is approved on DHS site and card was mailed to me this morning. So totally it took about a month. Don't think about it too much then it will come :) Best of luck to you

Thank you, I appreciate that.  It's hard not to think about it but I'm hopeful it will come soon.  I'm glad to hear that yours has completed and is on its way to you!

Although we interviewed in November 2017 and were told at our interview that our case was approved, we never received any sort of notice that my husband's green card was produced or shipped...UNTIL TODAY (May 25, 2018)! We did receive the green card about a week after the interview; we just never got a notice that it had been produced and shipped. It's worth checking your mailbox daily...the case-tracking system is not particularly reliable or consistent.

Congratulation to you too friend. Yep, the first 2 weeks after interview I was worry but then I googled and found out it might take 1-2 months so I just let it go. After the status "Card was mailed" then the next day you will get an update status with USPS tracking no so you can track when the GC will be delivered to your house . Have a good Memorial weekend 2018 ;)

I received a notice this morning that my EAD and AP were in production. I received those early December, and I do not yet have a greencard (or a scheduled interview), so it was pretty annoying to get my hopes up like that.

But yes, I received a notice as well. I wonder if it is connected to the problems above now. It seemed weird to send me an update on something from November.
(I checked the new site and nothing changed; had a bit of hope it was about an interview after all. No suck luck.)

I had my interview on May 22nd at New York City Field office. 

Got Approval update online about 30 minutes after. 

May 25th got approval notice via mail and green card was mailed out same day. 

 

Should have it by the 29th since 28th is a holiday. So luckily a few days for me.

Congrats! I'm a little jealous, but I am glad this went well for you! NYC does not seem to have a terrific rep for going fast (similar to Atlanta: 300 days), but this went fast!

Hi all! I'm in the exact same boat as this chap here. Had my i-1485 marriage-based interview on May 10th (k1-visa), the IO said they needed to review my case and it would be approved a couple of hours later. Didn't hear anything for three days, the USCIS website has user-defined error on my i-485 petition for months and says the same date as above, and the DHS website hasn't worked for months. About three days later i got an update saying that my case was still in processing, and then another email this morning May 30 dated from May 16 saying the same thing. No idea what they are processing and why it is taking so long, i'm guessing background checks maybe as i had co-sponsor? It's just frustrating as you can't depend on the tracker, and calling the USCIS number is fruitless as they have the same information you do. I guess all i can do is to wait on the mail and go from there. 

 

Good luck everyone.
