I am the main applicant of my family’s I-829 petition, and I recently found my receipt number status was approved. But my wife and child’s receipt number status are still pending. Is this normal? What can I do while we wait for their numbers to be approved?

Immigration attorneysIt often happens and if it's past due, you can do follow-up inquiries.

Immigration attorneysYes, that’s normal. However, if you don’t see your wife and child’s case status change in one month, I would suggest you or your lawyer reach out to USCIS’s EB-5 program office.
