Did not pay Green Card fee yet after wife entered US

[Gaiden79 28]

Hi all,

(Sorry if this isn't the right forum)

 

My wife entered the US on her IR-1 visa on June 15 from the Philippines, but as of yet I didn't pay the fee for her permanent resident card to be mailed to her due to financial reasons. This coming week I will pay, but I'm just wondering if there will be any issues due to the delay?

 

She has her social security card/number already. I pay on the USCIS website correct? Thanks!

No issues at all, there's no deadline to pay, the GC just won't be underway until it's been paid. 

 

Bear in mind that it seems to be 120 days now that they're quoting people for green card to be delivered, so don't worry if you don't get it within 90 days.

Yeah you pay on the USCIS website.

Payment page: https://my.uscis.gov/accounts/uscis-immigrant-fee/start/overview 

 

In the meantime her stamped immigrant visa is a proof of status until June 14, 2026. So you know, get this out of the way ASAP but if it takes a few months for it to actually get mailed out it's no big deal.
