Okay, this is really bugging me.

I got approved 1/16/13 and it has been stuck on approval. No card production or anything.
I called USCIS, and asked about it, and both times they have said that I should wait 30 days to receive the card. (But the card is not even in the card production stage, which baffles me.)

I'm getting frustrated, for everyone else on this forum had their status changed from approved to card production right away. Ugh.
