Once your I-485 application is approved, you will receive an official approval notice from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This notice serves as evidence that your application has been approved.

Welcome Notice

Along with your green card, you will receive a welcome notice, which provides essential information about your rights and responsibilities as a permanent resident.

Social Security Number

You can apply for a Social Security Number (SSN) on Form I-485 or after, using your green card if you don’t already have one. The SSN is crucial for employment and other official purposes.

Receiving the Green Card

Your green card will be mailed to you once the production is complete. Make sure to verify that the personal information on the card is accurate upon receipt.

How long it takes to receive the physical green card after the I-485 approval can vary.
