Multiple I-485 Approval Emails from CRIS

[Andy-n-Maricar 6]

We have received three emails from CRIS stating the I-485 was approved. The strange thing about this is that they have been sent over a 3 week period and each email has a different approval date on it, the latest stating it was approved 6/9/09. We have already received the approval letter from the first approval email (in May) in the mail, and also letters stating green card production has been ordered. We were wondering if anyone else has heard of this happening and should we be concerned? Very confused.

Its normal, i got my Notice of Approval of I-129 three times..

Probably this last one means that they mailed you physical GC... What exactly does this notice say? If it says something like: Approval notice sent - it means that your GC is the way

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully the GC is on its way.

I didn't get a mail from CRIS for the welcome letter but I know about it from looking online, and it stated that on 5-22 the application was approved and I think it said something about the welcome letter. We received the welcome letter, then later on I got the email about card production being ordered... then another email from CRIS saying the application was approved on 6-9 (three weeks later). I think the wording is different in this latest email than the original welcome letter wording (shown in case status online) so there is some difference between the letters, but they seem to say the same thing.

My theory is that the first one is the date your GC is approved, the second one is probably the actual day it was printed and the date that your GC will show as the date it was issued (I haven't seen a green card before though so maybe it doesn't specify that... but I bet it does).
