How long to get the GC card after an approved interview?
How long to get the GC card after being approved and getting the stamp at the interview?
We had our interview on 09/19/05, and I have not received the card yet. The online status has not changed at all.
Any other experiences?

It takes the amount of time between date of approval and the date of receipt. You've only given us the date of approval. Once you give us the date of receipt, then the answer can be given.

There are several who have gotten the GC within a week of the interview approval, but there are also some who are still waiting quite a while after the interview approval.
If it gets too far past due, you can make an Infopass appointment to inquire about it...but I'd give it a few months to show up.
Best Wishes,
Rene

My approval letter said to expect the card sometime within the next year, it's been almost 3 months since I was approved - no GC yet. I made enquiries to the mis-information line and made an noinfopass appointment, and all they could tell me is that the card hadn't been mailed yet - the kind of helpful and informative respose I've come to expect...
I have the stamp in my PP, so as far as I'm concerned, they can take all the time they want to send me the card. I intend to apply for naturalisation as soon as I'm eligible, I won't be surprised if my GC turns up after I get citizenship, in which case I'll sell it on eBay (just kidding!)

Re: How long to get the GC card after an approved interview?
Hi!
I had my AOS interview in Atlanta (Aug 2, 2005) & re-do my biometrics & fingeprints the same day. My passport was not stamped bec BCIS needs the new bio & fingerprints. The results of the new bio & fingerprints were submitted to BCIS on Aug 10, 2005 to BCIS & my AOS was approved (Sept 27, 2005), I checked these info on BCIS website. We received letters of approval from BCIS on Sept 30, 2005. We received the green card on the mail yesterday (Oct 3, 2005)!
I hope these info helps.
