Thank you, thank you, Jac2005!

Update on my case progress
Interviewed and approved on 1/23/2006
Today my son got his welcome notice and my husband got approval of his I-130 (for unmarried child under 21of US citizen).
My son’s I-485 application status on-line changed twice after the interview. First time they informed us that his I-485 application was approved and notice sent and second –that the card was ordered.
His I-130 on-line status haven’t changed, still shows as in-process, even thought it approved already.
Now about me…. Nothing! No welcome letter, nothing.
Today my LUD finally changed and I got e-mail with this bizarre message:

Today my LUD finally changed and I got e-mail with this bizarre message: On February 1, 2006, we transferred your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status to an office in MISSOURI SERVICE CENTER for processing. Our office in MISSOURI SERVICE CENTER will send you a written decision as soon as processing is complete. You should receive a notice informing you that your case has been transferred to a local office.
This is strange…since my I-485 already approved and I don’t have a clue why they keep on transferring my case back and forth like that. Here is my complete timeline:

Hi Jane!
Congratulations on all your achievements with USCIS.
Don't worry about your welcome letter. It'll come. But, do check with your local DO what's going on. This is CIS we're talking about... Anything is possible...
Here are just 2 bizarre examples that happened to my family:
- Back in 1997, while we (my husband, my kids and I) were waiting to get our welcome letters, we received an interview letter for our adjustment of status.
- After receiving a welcome letter, and then her green card, my daughter received the second welcome letter (the second green card did not follow).

Thank you, Anahit!
At this point I am not worried about anything anymore, just annoyed.

Yes, especially after all those enormous fees I paid them in total over the years.
So many applications I filed, so many receipts I still religiously keep.
Can you believe my very first paid EAD cost me only $75? They changed their fees like three or four times since I started the process. And they changed their own name twice: from INS to BCIS to USCIS and I am still me, patiently waiting…
