nycbra: Yes you can get approval by email, if you register on USCIS web site (see below) to get email notification. With I-751, you have to wait till you get your biometric notice, then go to this site and register, and add your case number.

How can it be that online status says it's pending, but you got an approval email?

I was sure that if you receive an update email about your case, online status is also getting updated. May I ask you to check at your account at https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/login.jsp what is the status of your case?

Ree:

It is not uncommon (as far as I know) for USCIS status to remain unchanged and still get decision emails. Many people have experienced it. All it means is that email function and web site update function are not always coordinated (they are definitely not linked).

I am not a tech person, so I cannot explain from techie point of view.
