Already in the US with a Temp Green Card stamped

[Gisselle Villegas 15]

Hello all,  we are already settled in the US, my husband is working and he already has his SS.  What we would like to know is how long is it usually taking for the physical Green Card to arrive in the mail.  He always his Passport with him to show the Temporary GC stamp if needed but it would be nice and much more practical to just have his card.  We arrived Nov. 23rd. of last year, SS card was received a week later.   I know they say to expect the receive the GC "no later than 120 days after entering, but has anyone received it no later than 90 days?  Thanks in advance for the info

It comes when it comes. Most come 30 to 60 days but many have been waiting longer
When did you pay the $220 green card fee?

We paid it online a month before moving to the US

We haven't looked into CEAC since husband had his Immigrant Visa approved by the US Embassy back in September.   We submitted the paperwork we had to the immigration officer when we enterd the US in November, he said all was good, told us he should be getting his SS card in the mail in a week or up to three weeks later but the GC will take longer to arrive.  We've been married for over two decades so he will be getting a 10 yr GC.  If there is a way of finding out the status of the GC, then what page do I have to get into to find out?  CEAC only says case file is closed after all documents were sent to the US Embassy.

I went in and this message came up "On October 29, 2021, we received your USCIS Immigrant fee payment for your Permanent Resident Card related to your immigrant visa. We will be processing the request for production of your Permanent Resident Card. You should receive your Permanent Resident Card within 90 days of your entry into the United States or within 90 days after your USCIS Immigrant Fee payment is received. If you do not receive your Permanent Resident Card, contact the USCIS Contact Center at www.uscis.gov/contactcenter. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address"........    So I guess the only thing left is to wait the total 90 days and then contact them.  Thanks for the link!

Mine took 177 days.  I sent a MyUSCIS inquiry.  It seems to depend which of the card printers is printing the card.
