Dear Mom,
My wife and daughter received their Green Cards and approval letters (thanks once again), but my case haven't been updated yet. I extended my OPT for another two years before applying for Green Card, so no issues to maintain the status.
However, I have a fear that USCIS messed up with my application and these are the signs of it:
1) My Daughter's approval letter has earlier date then my wife's (principal applicant). The date of my wife's approval notice is later than Green Card's issue date (I saw this can be the case though).
2) I have just extended my OPT through USCIS and it took only 3 weeks (it was in April, I paid for Premium proccessing). There were no questions to me.
3) In June there was a status of my application "we are pausing work on your application until the time when visa is availible to you". I remember you said it seemed like they were ready to proccess it. What if they just "forgot" to unpause it.
4) If it was background check I would expect RFE or something. I have an assumption that my first degree in Physics and my Russian passport could trigger the additional check, but for example if I had applied through embassy, they would have requested the list of Publications from me. Nothing like that yet.
Anyway, is there a way for me somehow to figure out if they delay is due to background check or something else? Like send them request or something?
Thank you
