USCIS case status · Cards and documents
New Card Is Being Produced
What it means
Your case was approved and USCIS is printing your card or document, such as a green card or work permit. It is the step between approval and mailing.
What usually happens next
Within days to a couple of weeks the status changes to "Card Was Mailed To Me", often with a USPS tracking number.
What to do now
- Make sure USCIS has your current mailing address; cards are not forwarded.
- Check that your mailbox shows your name, so the carrier will deliver it.
Questions
- Can I change my address at this point?
- Yes, update it with USCIS right away. Once the card is mailed, it is hard to redirect.
