Green Card Arrival?
So I got approved for i130 and i485 on the 29th Feb. My Social Security Card arrived on the 4th March and the date on it is the 28th Feb.
I got my i130 approval notice in the mail on the 6th March and i485 approval notice today in the mail.
My i485 case status says - case approved. Nothing about card being produced yet, I am aware status updates can be slow/behind at this stage. I know some get stuck at card produced but get the card.
My question is: Has anyone recieved their green card in the mail without any status update at all since case approved?
Thank you!

Siobhan Mar 12, 2024

Betina MilenaMar 12, 2024
Card being produced since 29 of feb and I got the approval notice for I-485 this past Saturday … when will the card arrive ? the waiting is killing me
Zen savageMar 12, 2024
when I saw ur approval 63 days the first words came out my mouth was WTF 😬anyways congratulations
Siobhan Mar 12, 2024
@S Long i just spoke to a live agent via Emma, I have no tracking number yet. In production still...ahhhhh
Siobhan Mar 12, 2024
@Betina Milena hopefully soon!! I wish mine would at least move to say card being produced lol!
@Keisha Cain-Holton I said the same thing! wasnt expecting it, maybe the 1yr+ wait will be for the card to arrive instead 😆
S LongMar 12, 2024
I got approved in 91 days and I was like no way!!!! haha @Siobhan
okay well hopefully soon!
N KMar 12, 2024
@Siobhan @S Long @PK GM same! I’m stuck at case approved too. Received all my receipts last week and new ssn card yesterday.
med seahawksMar 12, 2024
i485 approved on March 5th but card still wasn't produced
Zen savageMar 12, 2024
@Siobhan nah it not gonna take that long 🤣
Siobhan Mar 12, 2024
@N K @med seahawks well if so many of us maybe just not bothering with updates!! I will definitely comment on the thread if i get a status update or the card!
😆🤣 @Keisha Cain-Holton its been too smooth so far! I feel like a catch somewhere!! haha
Don TMar 12, 2024
mine was approved Feb 24th and still case approved till now, no card produced.
A BMar 12, 2024
Do not forget 90 days before your green card expires you will have to start the process all over again only if you get a two year green card
Siobhan Mar 13, 2024
@A B mine will be a 10year card luckily! Been married 8 years almost
@Donald T nightmare! did you get approval notice yet?
Don TMar 13, 2024
@Siobhan yeah got notice since Feb 28 but no card yet or card produced.
A BMar 13, 2024
Congratulations
Siobhan Mar 13, 2024
@Donald T Hopefully it will just arrive! a few more days and Im going to call USCIS to see if a tracking number available or any update on status. Its actually really hard being approved but no card. I want to get a job, drive, get insurance etc, the wait for the card is the worst, knowing there is so many things you can do if you just had it in hand!
shan 876Mar 13, 2024
got approve on March 6 also, case status is stuck on approve, I’m yet to receive approval notice or card.
jag venMar 13, 2024
485 approved 1st march no further status updates here either.
Val GrnMar 13, 2024
It took me 12 days to receive an update from USCIS saying “card was produced” and 5 days more for it to psychically arrive without notification from USCIS. Try to continuously check your USPS correspondence as well and good luck, you are next😊🙏🏻
Betina MilenaMar 14, 2024
Any news from anyone ?
Siobhan Mar 14, 2024
@Betina Milena not yet for me!! 14days since approved and thats still all it says
Betina MilenaMar 14, 2024
@Siobhan are you going to contact them ?
Siobhan Mar 14, 2024
@Betina Milena I did a couole days ago. said it was in production and no tracking number at this time. i will again in about a week i think if no change
Betina MilenaMar 14, 2024
@Siobhan my lawyer said we have to give them atleast 3 weeks before we contact them …
Siobhan Mar 14, 2024
@Betina Milena thats very helpful to know!! im 6 days short of hitting the 3 week mark. i do know uscis said to me that if you dont have the card in 30days from approval you can also submit an e-request. im holding out as long as I can stand until I reach out again so I dont annoy them and have them change their mind! 😆
Betina MilenaMar 14, 2024
@Siobhan someone said it took 36 days to have the card In hand … that’s a lot of time 😔 and there is a back log on producing GCs 🤦♀️ like 90 days !
N KMar 15, 2024
@PK GM have you gotten your status updated? I believe we have the same approval date
PK GMMar 15, 2024
@N K Hi !! yes i still have not gotten any updated 😭😭
Siobhan Mar 15, 2024
