AoS for K2 approved. Does my stepson get an actual card?

My wife's AoS from K1 to conditional permanent resident was approved.

On the same day we got her letter and physical green card we got the approval letter for her 11yo K2 son that his AoS was approved. But no card for him.

 

They would like to travel back to Colombia to visit family. 

 

Does he get a separate card? Does he just travel on his Colombian passport and his I797 AoS approval letter along with his mother?

Yes.  The child will need his own physical green card to be able to board a flight back to the US.

Thought so. Thanks.  It's been more than a week since we got his I797. Still no card.  

 

Guess we have to call and wade through the prompts.

Too soon.

Yeah, we'll be patient.

 

Actually was only expecting EAD for my wife initially. But all at once there were I797 AoS approval letters for both, Social Security cards for both, and the actual card for her, all in one day's mail delivery. All after months and months of no updates at all.

 

So I was a little surprised that his card didn't come through right away too. Kept expecting it in the next day's mail. Then the next, or the next.

 

Eventually got to wondering if I was just confused about the process.  Guess not. 

 

She is so anxious to travel to see her older daughter who aged out of a K2 and had to stay behind. Only thing holding her back  is lack of stepson's card. 

 

I keep reminding her that stepson needs to stay in school and cannot travel for a 3-4 week vacation now. Sigh.
