Newark!!! Newark is processing I-551's from the first week of Februay I think. You guys should add 8 weeks to the date you stamped and will see the card in the mail within the 45-48 days. Good luck

Do Consular Processing You mentioned filing I40/I485 jointly. I would advise you to process your case through CP. It is not worth this long wait with the INS. It took me 15 months to adjust status when I could have done CP is 4 months. There are many people on this board who have waited a...
