It shouldn't take that long. Two days after the "Card is Being Produced" status, my wife's USCIS account updated to "Card Produced". She received the physical card three days later. This was in February so it's a recent datapoint.

We got her passport back promptly. Timeline: 1/23/2023: Mailed package to IRS ITIN processing center in Austin Texas via USPS certified mail. Package included Form 1040 married filing jointly (With my SSN as primary, and her SSN/ITIN field blank), a statement that we are making an election under IRC 6013(g) to treat my wife as a resident alien for the purpose of our U.S. tax return, Form W-7 applying for ITIN, and her foreign passport. 1/27/2023: Package received and signed for by IRS Austin. 3/8/2023: Received Notice CP565, dated 3/3, assigning my wife an ITIN. 3/13/2023: Received Notice 14433 Return of Documents and her passport back. 4/6/2023: IRS transcripts showed our Form 1040 was posted. Refund was approved and scheduled to go out on 4/13.

My wife's GC has the same issue with Thi listed as her first name, except her SSN card name is also wrong. SS office won't fix it without a correct GC. If it was just the GC, we'd probably leave it alone. We decided to submit I-90 due to DHS error so there is no charge, along with her birth certificate with translation showing her correct name order. Here's our timeline: 4/24/2024: Received green card. Submitted I-90 with supporting docs and green card to USCIS. 4/26/2024: We received your Form I-90, Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card, and sent you a receipt notice. 5/10/2024: We scheduled you for a biometrics appointment. (Appointment scheduled for 5/28) 5/22/2024: Card Was Destroyed 5/28/2024. Had biometrics appointment. Status updated to Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS We're ok with waiting for the GC but others may not. This is such a common problem with Vietnamese immigrants, I wish there was a memo that DHS/USCIS could use that explains Vietnam's passport name convention and how to issue the GC according to US convention.
