How to check if your green card has been mailed
If you have applied for a Green Card through a family-based or employment-based petition, you can check the status of your application and confirm whether your Green Card has been mailed to you through the following methods:
- USCIS Online Account: Create an account on the USCIS website (www.uscis.gov) and log in to check the status of your application. You will need your receipt number, which is usually provided on the receipt notice you received after submitting your application.
- USCIS Contact Center: Call the USCIS Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 (TTY 1-800-767-1833) and provide your receipt number to inquire about the status of your application.
- USPS Tracking: If you have provided a mailing address for your Green Card, you can track the delivery status using the United States Postal Service (USPS) tracking number. You can do this by visiting the USPS website (www.usps.com) and entering the tracking number.
- Check Your Email: USCIS may send you an email notification when your Green Card is mailed. Check your email inbox and spam folder for any updates from USCIS.
- Check Your Mailing Address: If you have not received your Green Card, check your mailing address to ensure it is correct and up-to-date. You can update your address online through your USCIS account or by contacting the USCIS Contact Center.
If you have checked all of these methods and still have not received your Green Card, you may want to:
- Contact the USCIS Contact Center to report the issue and ask for assistance.
- File a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to obtain a copy of your Green Card application and any related documents.
- Contact your attorney or representative, if you have one, for guidance on the next steps.
Remember to keep your Green Card safe and secure, as it is an important document that proves your immigration status in the United States.
