Plastic Card Without 551

[zxmn52]

My wife GC has been approved last month 24th. We received welcome letter in 3 days, and plastic card in 5 days. They used old photo and fingerprints on card. We didn't receive approval letter to get stamp in local office or to file I-551.

What should I do with I-95, EADs and APs?
Do we also get biometrics notice? (She did fingerprints 1 month before approval)

Thank you,
bala

I-551 is a temporary proof of permanent residence till you get your actual card in the mail. Since you already have the card, you dont need the I-551 on your passport.

They are not needed anymore as GC has been approved.

No. I dont think you would need to do anything unless specifically instructed by USCIS.
