06/01/2009 Entry: "USCIS Announces Permanent Resident Card Production Delays"
On 5/29/09 USCIS announced possible delays in the delivery of permanent resident cards while the agency is in the process of upgrading its card production equipment.
USCIS is announcing that applicants may experience up to an eight week delay in the delivery of their permanent
resident card while we are in the process of upgrading our card production equipment. USCIS Field Offices will be
issuing temporary evidence of permanent residence in the form of an I-551 stamp to applicants approved for
permanent residence at the time of their interview. You will need to take your passport to your appointment. If you do
not have a passport, you must bring a passport style photo and government issued photo identification to receive
temporary evidence of permanent residence.
If the application is approved subsequent to your interview or by a Service Center or the National Benefit Center, the
applicant should bring the above documents to an INFOPASS appointment to be issued temporary evidence of
permanent residence in the form of an I-551 stamp.
