card mailed to me without tracking number

hello everyone, I hope y’all doing great today. Is there anyone who recently has their I485 or green card approved? how long did it take to get your card? the last update on my case was “card was mailed to me” since 12 days ago, I didn’t receive a tracking number,y attorney hasn’t recieved the card yet. I’ve called uscis office severally without success and the agent I spoke with yesterday escalated the issue to a tier two officer, and told me to expect a call from an officer soon. Did anyone else experience this situation? #greencard #vawa #I-360
