    Tracking GC delivery via USCIS ELIS

    You have to call and get the "receipt number" (IOE number) directly from USCIS if you don't have one. They won't give it to you unless you have waited 60 days. The reality is, even with a receipt number, tracking the green card status is useless. If you card is not ready for...

    Tracking GC delivery via USCIS ELIS

    As other people have mentioned before, if you're really getting desperate (like I have as I had waited for more than 90 days), write a letter to your congressman.

    Short trip to 'activate' Permanent residence at POE

    What kind of conflicting advice have you received? It's a rather simple process in your case. You've already received everything to enter the US as a permanent resident. Once you enter the US, you'll be taken aside to process for the green card (they'll take the sealed envelope and stamp the...
