The official figure is the only timing on this page so far. Reader comparisons appear here once people share their dates below.
Use the I-90 receipt number to track the actual case
Enter the 13-character receipt number from Form I-797 in USCIS Case Status Online. If you filed online or linked the paper case to a USCIS account, check the Documents and Case History areas as well because a notice can appear there before a mailed copy arrives.
QueueCheck never needs that receipt number. Keep it in the USCIS account and use QueueCheck only for non-identifying dates such as receipt, biometrics, decision, card production, and delivery.
Read the status as a milestone, not a countdown
Receipt, biometrics reuse or appointment, active review, request for evidence, decision, card production, and delivery are separate milestones. Long silence between two milestones is common and does not by itself show that permanent-resident status has ended.
If USCIS sends a notice, follow the notice deadline rather than waiting for the public status wording to change. A request for evidence or missed biometrics appointment can stop useful progress until the applicant responds.
Protect the mailing step
Update your address with USCIS promptly and keep postal tracking once a card is produced. A case that is approved but not delivered is a document-delivery problem, not an I-90 adjudication delay, and USCIS provides a separate non-delivery request route.
Details needed to interpret a Green Card renewal or replacement (I-90) status
- I-90 category: 10-year renewal or initial issuance/replacement.
- Exact filing reason, receipt month, and any evidence or biometrics request.
- The same finish line: decision, card production, dispatch, or card in hand.

Official status tools and notices for Green Card renewal or replacement (I-90)
I-90 timing should be checked by the exact reason for filing: renewal, replacement, lost card, damaged card, correction, or DHS error.
A renewal receipt can extend Green Card validity, but that does not make the replacement card arrive immediately.
Conditional permanent residents should not use I-90 to remove conditions; the timing question is usually I-751 or I-829 instead.
Questions about tracking Green Card renewal or replacement (I-90)
Where do I track an I-90 after USCIS accepts it?
Use USCIS Case Status Online with the receipt number from Form I-797. A linked USCIS online account can also show case history and notices. Do not enter the receipt number on QueueCheck.
Is card production the same as card delivery?
No. Approval, production, postal dispatch, and delivery are separate milestones. Keep the postal tracking number and use the USCIS non-delivery route if an issued card does not arrive.
