Hello family, I entered the US last year December but I have still not received my physical Green Card yet. When I checked the USCIS website it says “Immigrant Visa Fee Payment Received.” Anyone with similar experience? please help.

Receiving Green Card after the US arrival

My dad arrived the US yesterday with an immigrant visa. Does anyone know how long it takes to receive a Green card and SSN card? it says it will take up to 90 days for GC, but I want to know the realistic days. Also, the status will be changed from “immigrant visa fee payment received”?
