I would like to know why my Green Card isn't here yet ready for me because right now I am going to school in America and my mother got her Green Card already and before that she got married with an American citizen.

Does anyone know how long it takes to actually get the green card once an application has been approved?

"When she got there, she said the immigration officer told her that her file, which was being stored at a national records keeping center in Missouri, had not arrived... However, he added that the agency's workers, at times, accidently schedule interviews before a file can arrive." This agency still relies on shipping paper records around the country? Helloooo! Anyone ever heard of electronic records? What can sheets of paper do that data files can't? Yeah, it was a "brilliant" idea to integrate Citizenship and Immigration into Homeland Security.

The wait would be considerably shorter if they would move back - permanantly. Listen to yourself apologizing for our stringent immigration policies!?!
