This is an update to my wifes case for not receiving her green card.
First I will say yesturday her green card arrived in the mail. This was not the original green card. We also did not pay $450 for it.
Well to keep a long story short and not to recap what has already been written I refused to pay $450 for something that was not our fault.
We did visit local USCIS office and also got nowhere.
We had enough proof to show USCIS never mailed out my wifes green card.
Tracking information showed it was never mailed. We obtained a letter from our local post office that they never received it.
What was also interesting about our case was USCIS automated messages for my wifes case and how they changed.
For months after her arrival the automated message stated they mailed a 797 to us on September 28 (which we received)
In November after complaints of not receiving a green card that message was updated to green card mailed September 28.
After tracking number was give message was updated to Postal Service picked up green card from USCIS for delivery on September 28.
After complaining tracking number showed it was never shipped message was updated to USPS was reporting it was picked up for shipment on Sepetember 28.
The September 28 date was also interesting since tracking showed label was not even generated until September 29th.
So after all failed attempts to talk to USCIS we decided to go to our local Senator.
We mailed all information out to the Senator. 2 days later we received letter from Senator saying they already contacted USCIS and asked them to resolve this matter ASAP. Senator would also send us notice once they heard back from USCIS.
4 Days later we received another letter from Senator saying USCIS will be issuing another green card within the next 30 days.
Called USCIS number right away to hear if automated message was updated. It was. New message was green card will be issued within next 30 days.
3 days later after receiving letter from Senator with the good news a green card finally showed up in our mail box. Printed 3/26/2012
Thank you Senator Mikulski

This is not a situation with it being lost in the mail. From research this is a common problem with USCIS and green cards. A simple search on google for "green card never received in mail" shows many going through the same thing I am. While I know the USPS is not best I find it hard to believe they just lose greencards.
I am an ebay power seller for a living. I mail out 1000's of packages through USPS a year. I have been doing it for over 6 years now. To this day not one package has ever been lost. Some have taken longer then expected to arrive and yes they do not always scan the packages for tracking until delivery. However they all showed up. Taking that into consideration as well as the many many many others I have seen going through the same problem of receiving every other letter in the mail USCIS has sent BUT the actual green card. Well I at that point have to say USCIS is not being honest about mailing all of them out.
Some I read managed to get theirs. After alot of pushing USCIS finally told them it was an issue with production of cards. These were also people who were told once upon a time it was mailed then later it was not.
I apreciate your reply but this is not just a case of bad luck for me and my wife's card was lost in the mail. This is a case of it never being mailed and I would like to know what to do to get USCIS to finally see that.

Visa is good for 6 months

In short there is nothing you can do. Without your husband you are no different then any other Ukrainian trying to come to the US who has no relatives in the US.
However it is troubling that you still wish to come to the US even though your marriage seems to be over. This may also explain why the marriage is ending. You appear to be more concerned with coming to the US then your marriage and your spouse has sensed this and probably why he no longer wishes to bring you over.
