When can I receive gc card after I-485 approval
My I-485 was approved on 2/162023. It's been 5 days , nothing updated. I was told 90% approvals would get updates like "card was mailed "/ "USPS picked up " in the very next business day. I've done some research and find 9 cases who got the GC MONTHS after approval. I need my GC immediately because my employer put me on leave unless I submit my GC. My clock is ticking, does anyone have experience what should I do ? contact Emma ?
BTW, those 9 out liner cases , the delayed reasons are mostly because USCIS system can not link application to applicants' fingerprints or images.

Emma will probably tell you to wait 30 days.
try calling USCIS to request an infopass appointment for a temporary I551 stamp in you passport. your employer should accept it as prove of LPR.

congrats! How did you find the reasons for those 9 out liner cases? I am also waiting for card after approval, wondering if it is the same reason. Thanks!

@mask y the original post said that. one person happened to walk inside the field office and talk them in person then know the reason
