My kid was approved, but not me...

[August31]

While I am very happy, this seems to be a little strange to me...I got an email from USCIS last Friday notifying my kid's I-485 was approved on 3/16/2006. I then verified this from my account with USCIS. I cannot believe this because: 1) as the principal applicant, I have not been approved and I have not seen any update to my application from my USCIS account. 2) I am a EB3 and my priority date is Feb. 2003. From the web, it looks USCIS is processing April 2001 cases from my country.

Now I am curious if there is anybody is or was in the similar situation. Based on your experience/knowledge, how long could it take to get the approval for myself after my kid approved (shortly, a couple of months, half a year or more)?

Thanks.

What you have stated is truly strange. Dependents cannot be approved before the primary applicant. I know this for a fact. Also since your PD is in 2003, your kids PD should also be the same and the case should techincally not be eligible for approval. Anything is possible with the USCIS. Please contact them and make sure everything is straight.

It happens all the time. specially with asylees... dependents are getting approve before the primary.
I called CIS to inquire about handling "family group" cases and a senior officer at TSC told me that they dont do that anymore... that all depends on fingerprint/ backgroud clearance...
