USCIS gave my wife and I an early Christmas present.

Online status changed today as follows:

"On December 19, 2006, 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. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."

Now even though I don't see the word "approved", I am making the assumption based on other posts I've seen here that they wouldn't order the new card unless we were approved.
