The way you will know that card is ordered is
you will see online case status message like
"On <date> after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready."
and once card order is complete you will get message
"On <date> the card order was completed and we mailed the applicant's new card directly to him or her. If 14 days have passed and you have not received this card, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283."
