How do I track green card and SSN delivery after entering USA?

[EldestElderSon 3]

Hi,

 

My spouse happily got her IR1 visa and has entered the USA!

 

Is there a way to track the delivery of her green card and SSN? Most guides mention looking at USCIS, but that seems to be only for people who were adjusting status in the USA. How do I track the delivery of these items if my spouse entered on an IR1 visa?

 

Thanks!

Was the $220 USCIS Immigrant Fee paid before or after entering the US?

When to expect the green card: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/expect-green-card

Info about the $220 fee: https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-immigrant-fee

In the meantime, her endorsed Immigrant Visa is a green card: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/temporary-i-551-stamps-and-mrivs

For SSN, there isn't a way to track it but contact SSA if it isn't received within 3 weeks of arrival: https://www.ssa.gov/ssnvisa/questions.htm

Honestly, I am not sure if I paid that fee. Was that included in the IV fee? I guess not.

 

I'm looking at the instructions, and we have no DOS ID number. The USCIS website said the consular officer should have given us a USCIS Immigrant Fee handout. We received no such thing. What can we do to find it?

From the link Hank_ shared: "If you did not receive an immigrant data summary or a USCIS Immigrant Fee handout with your visa packet, contact the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that issued your visa to request a copy."

My husband entered the US on a CR-1 visa on August 19, immigrant fee was paid back in June and SS card box checked on DS-260.  He received his SS card on August 26, and received his green card on November 15, so in our case, one week for SSN and three months for green card.  There is no way to track SSN but you can check the status of the green card by entering the IOE number from paying the immigrant fee on the USCIS website case tracker.

This makes the most sense.  I tried the IOE number from the Immigrant Visa receipt, but it is asking for the access code from the notice, which we never received.  My wife entered 25/6 and sign of SSN or GC.  Can it be the holiday delays?
