GC Confusing emails from USCIS

[Manny&G 1]

On 3 Feb 11, my wife received the following email from USCIS, and were very happy:

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production

On February 3, 2011, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

This step applies to applications that result in an applicant receiving a card (such as a "green card") or other document (such as a naturalization certificate, employment authorization document, travel document, or advance parole). Applications will be in this step from the time the order to produce the card/document is given until the card/document is produced and mailed to the applicant. You can expect to receive your card/document within 30 days of the approval of your application.

Two hours later my wife received a second email from USCIS saying something different and this got us worried. Please some help us understand these notices. The first Email on on "Your case status " says Card/Document Production, the second email says Decision.

Second email from USCIS:

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Your Case Status: Decision

On February 3, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.

If you have questions or concerns about your application or the case status results

listed above, or if you have not received a decision from USCIS within the current

processing time listed*, please contact USCIS Customer Service at (800) 375-5283.

Is this normal, or because the first email says, tha card is under production, but the second email says the case in under "DECISION"

please help us understand this notices..

First one saying they are creating u a new card

Second said, they registered your new card number and your identity into the system which then when u got your new card, u are considered a PR. I think its nothing to worry about....

OK,

Is this normally the way the process works? I'm still having difficulty understanding both USCIS messages.

Example: The first message states, the card production was order and should be mail to me in about 30 days. (this message is prety clear) however when the second message came in, it confused everything.

Example:

Message two: Your Case Status: Decision

On February 3, 2011, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision

The second message states that they registered my wife's new permanent resident status, and the new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days.

So, she she expect two cards, one in about 30 days and the other after 60 days??? Please help me break this puzzle.

has anyone here received the same emails? and could you please tell me what happened????

Thank you in advance

This question has been asked and answered several times so no, you're not the only one to have this happen to you.

You will receive a "Welcome letter" and the GC in two separate mailing. One is the card, one is the welcome letter. Either way your card is on the way so stress less.
