Can somebody help me understand these scenarios?
(a) Can a person get his/her green (plastic) card in mail, if (s)he does not go for the passport stamping after the approval of I-485?
(b) What is legitimate time period INS gives, to get the passport stamped after I-485 is approved; assuming that the time period is not mentioned on the approval notice.
(c) At what point the clock of lawful permanent residency starts; is it at time the approval of I-485 or at the time of passport stamping?
Thanks so much for your help
