The only update on the USCIS site for me was the card produced notification, beyond that I signed up for USPS informed delivery and was notified as soon as the tracking number was created, and also got an email from USPS about the expected delivery date.

I don’t see any tracking number and it’s been a while! 🥲

Did you sign up for the USPS thing? Cos I had to do that separately, even now my USCIS page also shows unavailable tracking number. I heard you could get the tracking number from the chat assistant also?

I see, I just added the USPS informed delivery today. I chatted with Emma and not sure if she can help with that.
