I-130 case status went back to Initial Review one month after approval and receiving green card?

Hi guys,

 

I just received an email update from the USCIS online case status stating:

 

There has been a recent processing action taken on your case. 

Receipt Number: MSCXXXXXXXX

Application Type: I130, PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE 

Your Case Status: Initial Review 

On Jan 4th, the Post Office returned a notice we sent you for your Form I130, PETITION FOR ALIEN RELATIVE, Receipt Number MSCXXXXXXXX, because they could not deliver it. This could have a serious effect on your case. Please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice immediately. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address. 

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

• Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at under Check Processing Times.

 

 

This is a bit odd as my case has already been approved a month ago (both I-130 and I-485). I also have received my green card. What could this be for? I wonder if this could be for an approval notice? I thought I had already received the approval notice a month ago, but maybe that was for I-485 only? I'm currently traveling overseas therefore I am not able to check. Has anyone encountered this? I'm not sure what that notice was for....

Its scary but at the same time could be one of USCIS numerous glitiches. I would suggest calling the USCIS numbers.
