But here in the iron tight grasp of my own hands is the I-797 that says"APPROVAL NOTICE"

Geez, i saw the envelope in the mail and I got a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. We of course check status daily, and two hours before getting the mail I had checked and seen "initial Review". i was all but certain that it was some terrible news or an RFE or anything other than approval! made the shock even greater! THANKS ALL
