Time line to get physical card
HI folks,
What I don't get is why it would take 10-12 months (per the immigration officor at local INS office --Seattle) to get the permanent resident card, if the welcome letter said we should receive it within the next 3 weeks.
I got my passport stamped last August after my I-485 (via employment) was approved, but I'm still waiting for the actual card.
Some people said that they got their card in 3 months, but some waited for over a year and have to get another stamp on the passport to wait for the card. I wonder why??? It just does not make sense....
any inputs? Thanks.

If yours was a local office transfter case, you will probably get the plastic card within the next 2/3 weeks. Otherwise God knows when you will get it! No one seems to know (let me know if anyone knows).
Today my message was changed to "Card ordered". Hope to receive the card in couple of weeks. My case was approved as most of cases. (No transfer kind) Stamped at San Jose May 10th. But my wife status haven't changed to "card ordered" yet, even though every thing went together for both of us. Another surprise from INS......(now accustomed to that)hbt2002 said:If yours was a local office transfter case, you will probably get the plastic card within the next 2/3 weeks.

Plastic
I got my GC approved on 5/28/2004 and got my passport stamped on 6/15/2004 from NSC. I understand that some people have received the physical card in 3 months. I called service center and they told that i would receive the welcome letter pretty soon. I am still waiting for it to arrive.
Any idea how long this is gonna take???

My advice
In the text file, don't we need a column where people can indicate if the i-485 approval is a local case transfer / service center approval ?
Plastic card process depends on that.

Waiting for card
My I-485 was approved on August 23rd and I had gotten my passport stamped on August 30, 2004. My case is in the Nebraska center. I have been monitoring the USCIS site and in the processing time section I have noticed that the initial issuance of card says they are processing cases for August 02, 2004. I was curious if USCIS follows this date. Or is it like many other things just a date in the air out there. Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Faisal

Anyone here from Chicago area?
Is there anyone here from the Chicago area with Nebraska center who is waiting for the plastic card or has received their plastic card? I want to get an idea of how long it is taking people these days to get their plastic card (especially those who's cases were not transferred to the local office). The NSC tracker file has old data (2002). Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
