The website is very unreliable and this happens all the time (my case numbers are not recognized after almost 2 months). In fact your status may NEVER be updated or your case may NEVER be recognized by the website. Nothing to worry about though. If you received the paper receipts that means that your case is being processed. Many people received their green cards before the case was updated on the website. If you need a reliable update, call USCIS and request to speak to immigration officer. It works just fine.
