A:
The processing time for I-90 applications (Application to Replace Permanent Resident Card) can vary significantly from one case to another, and there are several reasons why your sister might have received her new card while you're still waiting for yours:
Different Processing Centers: USCIS processes applications at multiple centers across the country, and each center may have its own workload and processing speed. If your sister's application was processed at a faster center, she might receive her card sooner.
Application Submission Date: If your sister submitted her I-90 application before you did, even by a small margin, this could account for the difference in processing times.
Accuracy and Completeness of Application: If your sister's application was more accurate or complete than yours, it could have been processed more quickly. Errors or missing information in your application can lead to delays.
Random Variations in Processing: Sometimes, processing times can vary due to random factors or internal administrative reasons at USCIS.
Background Checks and Other Security Measures: If there are any issues with your background checks or other security measures, this could delay the processing of your application.
To check the status of your I-90 application, you can use the USCIS online status check tool by entering your receipt number. If there are significant delays or if you have concerns, you can also contact USCIS directly for more information. Additionally, it may be helpful to consult with an immigration attorney or a qualified legal advisor, especially if you suspect there might be a problem with your application.
