Certified letter after green card approval?

[pnutbutter]

Hi,

I got approved for a marriage based green card in August 2008. I received the green card in the mail at that time and now I got two certified letters for my spouse and I from USCIS. I did not get to sign for the letters so I have these certified mail slips and I am worried about these letters may mean. I cannot wait until Monday. Has anyone had this situation? Can they reverse an approval? My wife and I have not done anything wrong. Usually certified letters are bad news. It has been 1 year and three months since I received conditional permanent resident status and my conditional card expires in August of 2010. Why would my wife and I be receiving certified letters? If anyone can help me figure this out it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

you are right, it is uncommon for USCIS to send anything certified -- means it is important from USCIS point of view to have a proof their mail was delivered. Most likely it comes from USCIS Consular (attorney) which mails out stuff certified. This is serious.

Answering your question, yes, unfortunately it happens green cards AND even citizenships are being revoked. Poeple often forget that the only REAL way of being solid citizenship is through a soli of USA (being born here). There have been some serious cases of citizens living in USA for 25 years and their citizenship being revoked, but again those were serious cases of people commiting murders in WW2 and hiding those facts, etc.

It happen before, on very loose grounds that green cards approval has been revinded. Example is here in Matter of Ho http://www.justice.gov/eoir/vll/intdec/vol19/3051.pdf where green card was approved but later district Director found the facts behind approval illogical, and revoke previously approved green card (read page 10 in details).

Conditional greencards are designed to protect USCIS and make sure that right benefit goes to right person. Most likely, marriage fraud cases people and so happy with green card (any green card even conditional) that they totally let go - they rent places on their own, they have separate banking, utility bills, hospital bills, revoking previous joint accounts, etc, however, USCIS looks long after conditional green card is approved. It is possible that there has been some solid investigation done behind your back and now the USCIS Attorney General built up enough evidence to revoke previous decision and deny.

Rejecting mail from USCIS wont help you but only make it worse proving USCIS that you may not be living where you assumed you are and you were suppose to file AR11 10 days MAX after you moved somewhere else. You should accept the mail. Even if this is bad news, you will be prepared for the ground, you take attorney, defend yourself etc. It is a mistake not to accept this letter.

Good luck and keep us posted!

Stop worrying about it until you see what is in the letter. The post office is open on Saturday morning in most areas. So you shouldn't have to wait until Monday unless you are also working Friday and Saturday.
