How long does Texas Service Center take to process? ›

Now, you can't ask USCIS to change your case to one service center over the other. Once you file your case and you'll file it at the lockbox that USCIS designates for the place where you live, you can't ask them afterwards to change it to a different service center.

On your receipt notice, lower left side there should be the service center that is processing your case. It's National Benefit Center.

Your Green Cards are produced at a production center in the state of Kentucky and typically, once you receive that, "Your card is being produced," notice, it doesn't take long at all for the Green Card to arrive. It should be there within a week or two. If it takes longer than that, there might be something wrong.

Look for the card# (application receipt number) on your card. This is a hidden code that may be on the front or back of your green card, depending on the year it was issued. The first three letters are a code for the USCIS office that granted your adjustment of status case.
