We entered the US with IR1 visa almost 3 months ago.  Social security card arrived automatically within a week or two (funny enough with a misspelled name).  We are still waiting on the green card.

I would prefer not traveling abroad without it (both due to the crazy news I've heard regarding US immigration actions but more importantly it allows certain benefits in my wife's home country (as well as third country transit benefits we will very likely need to use!).  As I recall, 3-4 months was a normal processing time, pre-Trump.

 

Can anyone give any first hand knowledge of receiving a green card in 2025 and how long it took?  There are stories of extremely long backlogs which I hope are not affecting automatic mailings of spousal green cards.  We will likely still travel in the coming months either way, fingers crossed, as we want to squeeze in a trip home before the baby making begins!

 

I hope this estimate of 9.2 months does not apply to our situation...

It used to be up to 90 days, but recently people seem to be being told up to 120 days. 

 

What does the online status say when you check it? You'll know when it's in production and on the way to you from that.
