Re: hi

Waiting for 7 months is not normal. First read carefully what stamp did you get in your passport, then check your case status on line, call 800#, make an appointment in your local office. Consider whether you changed your address at any time during an adjustment process. There is a chance that your local office will ask you to finger print again and make a photo etc.

If you have any additional questions call us directly.

Re: hi

Was the stamp you received an I-551 stamp or just a notice written by the officer stating that you attended the interview?

It should not take that long to recieve your green card in the mail. Check the case status online at USCIS's website to see if the card has been processed and mailed. If it hasn't been, then you may want to speak with the local office where you had your interview to see why it hasn't been processed yet (you can make an Infopass appointment to do this).

If you have additional questions, plesae do not hesitate to contact me.
