I just have a feeling in my bones that something's gone wrong. I paid the fee one week after arriving (so four weeks ago) and everyone else seems to be receiving their green cards quite quickly.

The USCIS website won't let me log in to my account due to 'inactivity' (it has said as much and asked me to re-set my password every single time I've logged in, for months), so I've not checked for any change in status yet. But we'll see - I'll give it six months before I start worrying.

Just as an update to this thread, on 29th December (24 days after my POE arrival in New York City) my green card arrived in the mail at my in-laws' house. And as a bonus, the name was spelled correctly, so it is just the good folks at the Department of Social Security who messed up

The fact that I am now a US permanent resident actually feels a lot more real knowing that the physical card has been produced, dispatched and is winging its way across the ocean to me than it did after my underwhelming immigration experience at JFK, which is kinda funny given that I am now back on British soil for several months
