Contact the post office asap

Sis the post office told me that it was delivered and that it was possibly put into the wrong person's mailbox because the regular mailman called out sick that day.

I had my apartment office contacting my neighbors that could've gotten it. So they started checking their mailboxes. It was my next door neighbor that got it. 

So hubby has his green card now.

You are not getting it sis. After you made the green card payment,a receipt number was generated for you in that email they sent you.

 

Check it now,it starts with IOE followed by 10digits. That's the GC fee payment receipt. When you find it,goggle green card status online,follow the instructions and put in the receipt number,you status will pop up.

 

You were using the receipt for your i130 petition to check and that's why you got that message stating that your case has been sent to the dept of states(NVC)

 

 

I just want you to know that you are a God send. Crisis averted. I tracked it down and got it 

God bless you abeg.

that will be good idea... u smart.....if I may ask was it able to get up to 120days for your gc or is not up to 120days

it was 4 weeks

8 minutes ago, S and o said:

ok thanks... so what will you do since it says received.. wiiill you have to go to their office to get your gc

I'm trying to track it down, there's a possibility it was delivered toy neighbor's box so they'll check when they get back from work. If it's not there, I'll have to raise hell with the post office. 

2 minutes ago, S and o said:

ok... thanks.... so for the GC I will have to wait for 120days right 

I would suggest you start tracking it with the receipt number on your GC payment receipt they sent through email. Like Abies said it starts with IOE.. I just checked mine and it shows that it was delivered but I didn't receive it. 

5 minutes ago, S and o said:

ok thanks..so I should wait for another week. right

Yes, you can go on Monday

Just now, S and o said:

do you think I should go to the ssn office to request for my ssn or I should wait more weeks..... thnks

If you've been here more than a week, go to the ssa office, go with your passport and they'll get you into the system and have it sent to you

OMGOSH IT SAID IT WAS DELIVERED AND IT WASN'T

The one that starts with IOE with the 10digits is the receipt number to check for green card status online.

 

USCIS is very inconsistent,so don't let it bother you much. The maximum period to receive the physical GC in the mail is 120days.

I just checked again and the last update they have for me is that my case was sent to the Department of State as of 3/31/2018. Can you imagine?

Did you enter the states already or are you still at your home country? 

I received mine this Saturday after 22 days of entering the country. You can check the status of your GC online at the uscis website with receipt number. 

Your GC status will change to the following;

1) visa fee payment received 

2) card is being produced

3) card was mailed 

4) card was delivered by post office 

keep in mind it says it will take up to 120 days to receive so anytime really! Just gotta keep an eye out and have patience, if you need to show proof of being here lawfully you can still show your visa sticker in your passport 

Hi I tried checking this but I'm unable to. My hubby hasn't gotten his card yet and it's been 30 days since he entered. 

I might be confused on what information I should provide to check it.

What's the receipt number? The initial USCIS number they gave at the beginning?

Let the packing and count down begin....

Hubby so excited,  he keep saying I cant wait to see u, asking what I want him to cook for me before my arrival in the states...

AWWWWW. LOVE!!! Love love love, is such a beautiful thing

We went to the SSA office last week monday(Sept 24th). The officer we went told us that the they have signed a MoU with the USCIS that all applicants will hence receive their SSC in the mail within 3weeks upon arrival and that not until the 3weeks has elapsed,we won't be able to go to any SSA office to apply manually for the SSC.

WOW, that's a new process then.

Just called the SSA office in my city and after asking for my information,they still don't have it on their system yet.

 

The lady i spoke with told me to give it one more week.

Hey so I waited one week and took my hubby to the SSA office, he received his card yesterday, less than a week after I took him  to the office. So wait until it's a week after you've been here then go into the office. They'll put your information into the system themselves, tell them it's your first time applying.

Hey,  So my Hubby and I received our NOA 1 on July 6th. When looking on the USCIS Site it says 5.5-7 months as of now. Has anybody else submitted around the same time and heard any update yet? 

1st things first, don't call him your hubby. I know our culture permits that, but just that word alone can cause a denial. Get into the habit of not calling him your hubby.

I would advise that you don't spend any money on wedding planning. I did and lost all the money due to denial. 

Your wedding date can come and pass by because they haven't issued the visa yet. You can't force their hand, it's no longer as fast as before. 

If you have done traditional engagement, just obtain a traditional marriage certificate or do court wedding in Nigeria.

That was my situation. It will not be fast, it will not be easy, it will even shock you but only if you don't learn from my and others mistakes here.

The stamp on your passport serves as a gc pending when you receive the plastic gc in the mail. 

 

We were at the social security office on Monday and was told to wait 3weeks if it doesn't come in the mail before coming to apply physically for it.

 

The officer we met told us that they have signed a MoU with the Customs and Boarder Protection dept in respective of whether you ticked Yes or No on your ds260 form for SSN.

 

We couldn't get a State ID card because we have no SSN nor any other form of ID that carries your new house address.

 

How are you enjoying the California weather?

You're here? Welcome
