H-distributions associated to weakly convergent sequences in Sobolev spaces are determined. It is shown that a weakly convergent sequence $(u_n)$ in $W^{-k,p}( \R^d)$ has the property that $\theta u_n$ converges strongly in $W^{-k,p}(\R^d)$ for every $\theta\in\mathcal S(\R^d)$ if and only if all H-distributions related to this sequence are equal to zero. Results are applied on a weakly convergent sequence of solutions to a family of linear first order PDEs.
