I would like to post an update on my mom's green card situation. Today is Oct 5th and no green. After calling USCIS for months and months with no answer of anything I was able to schedule an appointment at my local office (very long wait for a spot to open). So yesterday we went in and they said my mom's packet was lost, that's why they didn't print her green card. After Asking for a few documents the lady was super nice and her manager put in a request to cancel the packet and submit the forms that I had with me for them to process her green card.
She said that's been happening since for SOME contries they don't send the sealed packet any more.
Well, I hope everything is in order now, she said my mom should receive her green card by December.
Just wanted to give this update that might be helpful to someone in the future

Just wanted to give an update about this. I called them yesterday and finally I was able to talk to someone higher up.
They were checking and according to them it doesn't show on the system that my mom arrived in the US. I thought was a joke because she entered on Feb 27th, after I talked to the agente she said they are trying to find her paperwork because they were just waiting for her to enter the country to be able to print her green card.
Now they asked me to wait until Sept 25th, they will probably have another update for me by then.
Is so weird that they don't have proof..she got her passport stamped and everything, anyway now is a waiting game.
Hopefully that doesn't happen to anyone else.
Thx for all the replies and I will update in here what happens next :)

Nothing new? Claiming certain benefits was always forbidden for green card holder and would affect naturalization process. 

I also live in colorado. I payfor insurance for me and my husband through work a little bit over 200 bucks a month. Depends on the company that uwork for.
Welcome to colorado. Nice to have great people to move here

Mom just received today her package in the mail. Her turist Visa was cancelled and the immigrant visa is attached and valid for 6 months.
They gave the instructions with the paperwork in how to pay the fee.
So her interview was Dec 18th and now on Jan 9th she received her package back. Is official she is coming.
I will book her flight for the end of Feb since she needs to get rid of everything in the house.
I wish a good luck for u and your parents, I know soon they will be there with you

No the beneficiary will go alone to the interview.

She needs to requesta brazilian marriage certificate. If you lig in to the consulate website there's a option there in how you request it. Once you have that she can go to cartorio. 

You need to go to the consulate and get a brazillian marriage certificate. After that she needs to go to a cartorio and request another marriage cert based on the consulate one and after that she needs to change her name to married name on all her doc like cpf, rg etc.

Thx...yes she does.
 

For mine they told me right after the interview and my oat cerimony was later that day.
