My family and I got our green cards, accept for my son!
Hi peeps,
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience as me. My husband, my two children and I have all received our green cards, however my 17 year old son has not. Naturally all the paperwork was filed together, our attorney's got through to the USCIS only to be told to call back in 30 days! Any input would be greatly appreciated!!!! Thanks.

Did you each get a welcome letter from the USCIS telling you that your card was being sent? What did your status update say on the USCIS site for your son's green card?
It happens quite often that family applications are separated. Do each an eye on this and hound the USCIS/your attorney.

Thanks for your reply. Well we each got an email from Trackitt stating that our card had been ordered, then the welcome notice via post, then we received the cards in less than 5 days. My son didn't receive any of the above and the trackitt website states that his case is "pending". Believe me my husband has tried to get through to the USCIS, but to no avail, he just keeps get cut off!!! lol .... typical! lol The attorney has said that they'll contact the USCIS again in 30 days, it's just a waiting game! Oh what joy!!!!! All I can say is what a lousy system, you would think that with all the computer technology they'd be able to track his case and get moving on it!!!!

Crazy innit Lisa! lol ..... guess it's just a job for the USCIS, but for us ... well it's only our life/future! lol .... ideally I want my son to have his green card cause I've got to look at getting him signed up for college, and he can't get student loans unless he's a permanent resident!!! lol .... oh don't u just love the US of A!!! lol x

Sorry you don't like the system. But your son is a Permanent Resident--he doesn't need the card to 'be' one. Don't forget to remind the kids to sign up for Selective Service when it's time.

Trackitt sends you emails about your case? You know that is not an official site, right?

Isn't it the case that my son signs up for Selective Service via his high school? He is 18 in May.
Thanks!

There you go, that's the one. 
trackitt is something else.
The school may have the forms & information.. I thought it was at the post office to sign up, but these new fangled days I think everything can be done online: www.sss.gov

I'm not sure her son is a PR yet, Meauxna. His case is pending and has not yet to be decided. If this is true then he is not a PR and lets hope he doesn't end up the way of Elvira's son.

Re: My family and I got our green cards, accept for my son!
Well I would like him to receive state/federal loans as opposed to college/uni loans. Also I know that he is not a PR yet, he's case is still pending. It's just the waiting game that I'm playing now ... and to be honest I don't like playing this game! lol .... still if he gets refused, then we'll all go back to the UK, no biggy really! lol It would be pretty daft reallly if we all got the green card and they refused his!!! Then again nothing would surprise me!!!!

Re: My family and I got our green cards, accept for my son!
Relying on the online notification, especially when the whole family's cases have been approved, isn't very... well, reliable. They should check with their lawyer. It would be a shame to be strung out as long as E's son was, that's for sure.
