135 days and still waiting for my physical green card to arrive. Frustrating !!

[Nav420 1]

I entered the United States on an F-4 visa on August 24, 2023. My green card was subsequently approved, and I completed the oath ceremony before entering. All necessary fees were paid prior to arrival. However, I'm still awaiting the arrival of my physical green card and Social Security card.

Unfortunately, the online system of uscis is unreliable, consistently displaying errors and preventing me from submitting inquiries.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or insights on how to proceed. i am a british citizen . i do have a stamp for one year . so i can leave and come back .

Welcome to the forum.   

 

You might try contacting your U.S. Congressman's office.  They have special channels through which to inquire, and they can at least give you a status update, if not knock the card loose for you.

1. Oath ceremony applies to US citizenship, and not to GC. I'm confused.

2. What exact errors are you seeing? It's not uncommon for GC to take 6 months to arrive. Also, did you change US addresses since you applied for GC?

3. You don't have to wait for arrival of SS card. Fill out the SS-5 form, take it to the SSA office and get a SS card. You have a stamp in the passport proving your status.

What are you using to track the status? Just checking it’s definitely the receipt number from the GC fee receipt and not your original case number receipt? And that you’re not putting it in CEAC? 
 

If so, and you still can’t see what’s happening with it, then you just need to fill this form in. https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc#:~:text=You can create an inquiry,the My Case Status Tool.
 

You may need to redo biometrics or your photo but fill that in and they’ll get back to you to confirm. 
 

Your SSN card should have been delivered ages ago (assuming you ticked the relevant box on the DS-260 of course), so for that you’ll need to go to your local office to apply in person.

• Appreciate your response. Although I'm encountering an error while entering my UK case number (starting with LND), I'm unable to submit the inquiry online. It seems the system shows an error for  a invalid case number .
•  Perhaps contacting them directly by phone would be the best option for now.
• i think the ceremony was  more of an allegion connected to the constitution of usa London embassy .

As I said above, that’s not the your case number that is relevant. For both the form I’ve linked to, and the status check, it’s the receipt number from your IV payment that you need - it will start with IOE, not LND. Your LND case is closed now, they’ve done their bit. 
 

So use the IOE number first to check the status and see what that says. 
 

Phone is fairly pointless, once you’ve checked the status and know what that says, if there’s no sign of it arriving anytime soon you need to fill out the form I’ve linked to above.
