Hyatt says my wife came to the United States at January 21st,

but she's still waiting for her green card.

I'm assuming your wife came after

getting an immigrant Visa approved.

So when a green card marriage case happens and they go to

the Embassy and the Embassy approves it they come to United States

and the green card is supposed to come in the mail a few weeks

later along with his social security number but doesn't always

work that way.

Well, first of all after your immigrant Visa is approved

at the Embassy there's a $220 fee

that you have to pay

the USCIS and make sure you pay that before you enter United

States. If you pay it after you enter there will be delays.

Okay, that's first and pay that in that step.

Secondly,

Sometimes it takes longer.

I've seen cases where it take...I had a guy came in on a green

card Lottery diversity Visa Lottery.

It took 10 months for him to get the green card very frustrating

but it happens but first of all, yeah, you want to make sure

you pay the fee secondly make sure to check the addresses

you provided were correct, you know third, you know contact

USCIS ispotentially talk with them to see what is gong on. Fourth maybe

contact your congressperson and you know, if need be go to

the Social Security office and get your Social Security number

based on the Immigrant Visa stamp your passport.

You might have to haggle with them to get that. Not every

person at the Social Security Office understands that but that green card

stamp in your passport, the Immigrant Visa stamp.

Once you enter United States aboard officer stamps on that

that is considered a green card and could be used as green

card and proof of work authorization.

You can travel with that for a year.

So be mindful of that, you know

although the green card is not here,

you can use that to travel just like a green card.

Now, if they find a job. not every employer understands that

and that becomes a problem, but you could do that.

And so it's something to be mindful for when these green

cards take the delay.

have a delay to be actually shipped out and sent to you

so I see it as very frustrating.

I know somebody's need to travel.

But if you mind yeah that the Immigrant visa standard passport

is good for traveling is good for work.

So that'll hold you over until they figure it out.

A lot of times the post office loses it and so the immigration

department will say well we sent it in the post

office says we delivered it but they didn't but the immigration

office will will believe the post office.

And so in those kind of cases you have to unfortunately file

Form I-90 ask for renewal for a lost green card and pay the

filing fee and then wait, you know three six nine months

for a new green card to be issued. So it sucks but that's

just something that happens and I would I wouldn't say it

happens 2-3% of percent of time.
