Hello, my mom’s adjustment of status was approved last week. Just wondering how long it takes them to send the green card in mail if we are located in US?

2 weeks max

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.
