Hi,

 

I got I-551 on my passport at POE in mid of October. I stayed in US for about 5 days and then I traveled back to my country due to some unfinished work. 

 

Now my status on USCIS is following:

Quote

In Process

USCIS has accepted your application, petition, or request for processing

I checked with some other friends and their GCs were delivered within 6 weeks. I want to confirm if me moving out of USA so quickly has any impact of Green Card processing.

 

Any one has similar experience of delayed delivery of GC for any reason ?

No...no impact.

  If you don't have the green card by 6 months, I suggest contacting your congressman or senator and ombudsman.

I would put a query in with uscis. I know they give various dates for things but I think you can put a query in after 60 days if a green card hasn’t arrived (I know I did this with mine a few years back, but I knew for certain there was an issue then as all the family other than me had received theirs). As you already know, 4-6 weeks seems to be the most common time at present so imo worth following up on now.

Now you can't put in a query unless it's been 120 days since you entered/paid the fee. My husband arrived October 26th. We paid his fee a few days before that. We still haven't gotten his card, and it's been 67 days since arrival. (And he hasn't left the US.)
