K1 Green Card Delivered, But K2s Not Delivered

[ghunt2121 1]

At long last it looks as if my wife's green card has (nearly) arrived. We received the "Welcome Notice" I-797 today in the mail stating that "...permanent residence has been approved." and "We will soon mail you a new Permanent Residence Card. You should receive it within the next 3 weeks."

All good news. So I checked the case on the USCIS site using the Receipt Number and it said that "The USPS reported that they picked up mail from USCIS containing your new card on February 6, 2013. The USPS tracking number assigned is xxxxxxxxx". So I used the provided tracking number and checked on the USPS.com site and... lo and behold, it is to be delived tomorrow, February 8!!!

Huraaahhh!!!!!

Now the disappointing news...

My two steps sons, for whom I filed for AOS at the same time as for my wife, and whose cases were transfered to CSC on the same date as hers (May 31, 2012), did not receive the same I-797 and their cases are still stuck in "Initial Review" according to the USCIS Case Status page.

So my question is, Is this extraordinary, that the cases would get separated? It seems strange to me that since 1) the K2s are derivitives of the K1, and 2) my step-sons' Permanent Residency are dependent on my wife's Permanent Residency, that they wouldn't have all bee processed together.

Has anyone seen this before? Should I make an InfoPass appointment to investigate?

Agree, consider making an InfoPass appointment, or at the very least, contact USCIS Customer Service hotline.

Post back with the (hopeful, good) results of your inquiries.

Good luck.

ya, this is one of those 'call USCIS, get an ISO' thingies.

so, call USCIS again, get an ISO, and inquire about the status of these 2 casefiles.

Good Luck !
