Hi, am just arrived yesterday friday the 20/10/12, after my documentation and fingerprint at the entry point, (jfk) for how do i have to wait for my green card to arrived? Do i have write them? Can i apply for a drivers lincence before before the green card? What of the social security number.
Can i apply for admition in any of the university withouth the green card
 
It should automatically arrive in the mail within 30 days.

You can use the I-551 stamp in your passport as evidence of your permanent resident status when applying for university, driver's license, Social Security number etc.

However your Social Security card should also arrive automatically within 30 days, so you shouldn't need to apply for it (unless you didn't answer YES to the question on form DS-230 which asked about whether you wanted a Social Security card to be issued). If you visit a Social Security office with your passport and/or green card before the Social Security card arrives, they can tell you what the number is if a number has been assigned to you (number should be issued in 10-15 days), so you can use that Social Security number when filling out various forms before you get the physical Social Security card.

I need forum members input on this. We activated our visas in August with a newborn son and everything went smoothly at the POE. They asked for all the necessary documents GC (took his original birth certificate,photos,passport copy and vaccination card copy) to process his GC which they promised will be sent along with ours. However, we have never received his greencard and the only stamp on his passport is XN-3 ADMITTED. I have emailed USCIS a couple of times and the reply i got lately is to contact state government. I feel like i have googled everything about him but i have not given up. Am optimistic the GC will come but i need it soon since we want to travel in January before the 6months elapse to keep the continuity going. All other family members have received our documents in order. Your input will be highly appreciated.
 
Jackolantern what will be your take on the below case? " We activated our visas in August 2012 with a newborn son and everything went smoothly at the POE. The CBP asked for all the necessary documents (took his original birth certificate, 2 photos, passport copy and vaccination card copy) to process his GC which they promised will be sent along with ours. However, we have never received his greencard and the only stamp on his passport is XN-3 ADMITTED. I have emailed USCIS a couple of times and the reply i got lately is to contact state government.

What do you mean travel before the 6 months elapse? Have you taken your son outside the US already? If you're still inside, there are some easy solutions.

Did you and your spouse receive your own GCs?
