Have you met My boyfriend? He says he's a french model, I met him on the internet. ...
Are y'all saying its possible that the internet cant be wrong? I still like to get my paws on an official tangible document that is as important & life changing as this.

Thank you Harpa....thats exactly the information I was looking for.

Congratulations! Like you, we didn't want to believe until we had the hard copy on hand but an approval is an approval so hope you enjoy the moment like we did when we saw the approval online!!! And by the way, we got the hard copy after 5 business days. Cheers!

I will have to agree with the OP. The notifications on the website are great but it could also be an error. I received the "we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the State department" notification on the website too during my K-1 journey but several calls later I was told it was an error. I'm not saying it's wrong all the time but there is a chance.
Now I'm doing the I-130 and according to the website on 10/1/13 my case was updated three times:
1. My Alien Registration Number was changed
2. Notice requesting additional evidence was mailed
3. Notice that we have approved this I130 was mailed
I'm happy but not celebrating until I see the letter. OP I hope we see it early next week.

It's a fair cop! I did read it when you first posted but I didn't go back and re-read it before I posted later on.
I stand by my point though - people want you to stop worrying and enjoy the moment - the email and hard copy letter will turn up.

Jenoral,
Don't let anyone take the wind out of your sail!! People didn't obviously read the whole post, they get stuck on nuances perhaps forgetting that this site is international.
CONGRATS and can't wait for you to get your physical evidence!! I would/will need it as well!!

Woo! Expect the approval letter in 10 business days. You will need that letter for AOS, down the line after you are married, too. Sept 30 is only 3 days ago and this day is not yet over, so don't panic yet. The letter will be mailed to the USC.

Just to update this thread...I visited again for 16 days returning home to ireland on the 28th July. I was asked no questions at all and the immigration lady just wished me a nice vacation...
