USPS tracking says greencard delivered but no greencard

[Ann&James 179]

Uscis sent me an email that my greencard was delivered on January 17th but there was no green card in my mail box. When I check the the tracking number it says that it was delivered on January 17th at 4:21 pm.  I contacted uscis and the agent said to contact usps which I did. After a hour and a half wait, the usps agent said that they have to open an inquiry. At present I am not in the US. What should I do now?

Which green card is this? 2 year or 10 year?? You'll have to get USPS to investigate but I'd be more concerned that you're out of the US without a valid GC.

I assume it's a 10 year GC from OP's IR-1 timeline, https://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=280066:

• Marriage (if applicable): 2016-10-04
• US Entry: 2018-11-29

I assume OP has a foreign passport with a CBP endorsement on (or near) the immigrant visa which is a vaild I-551 document*.

*I-551 document = GC document

Yes I have CBP endorsement

This might be slightly off topic. But is normal to get an email from USCIS, with tracking information when the greencard is sent out?

 

Thank you!

I don't know if it's normal but it was updated on the old uscis website and I did receive the email.

Seems a free I-90 should be filed. @geowrian, @NikLR, @pushbrk, @Hypnos: thoughts?

[geowrian 22,335]

I personally wouldn't raise the issue over 1 day. It has no practical consequences so long as you don't file for ROC and/or citizenship exactly 90 days beforehand (or file for ROC on the exact due date).

We had to do an I-90 one year ago to correct an error on a GC (mistake with the name, not with dates). It took more than a year before we got the corrected GC back in our hands. Definitely a slow process for sure, but hey at least there aren't any fees when it's an error.

 

Honestly, maybe it's worth contacting your local USCIS field office to check on that? I agree with @geowrian that it technically doesn't really make any difference but their computers/records might have a different date, and maybe that could be a problem or cause confusion down the road, if you need to do ROC at some point.

I agree it doesn't matter.  Ignore it.  A mistake with no consequences.

This might come back to haunt you during your N400 like it did for me. I would file I-90 or at least make an infopass if possible.
