I checked the new website (https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/) and we got approved as of 5 July; our PD was 29 January.

 

However, on the Case Tracker app and on the old website, it still doesn't show as approved. Fyi, I'm a US citizen petitioning my wife in the Philippines, neither of us have children or previous marriages and we did not use a lawyer; our case was at the Texas Service Center.

 

Confirming that starting at about two weeks ago, the "We received your case" entry showed up twice under the "Case History" tab on the new website. Wishing all the best of luck to my fellow January filers.

Thank you. My approval was noted on the new website, which I found in the post by Goman0206 quoted above yours.

Any january filers at nabraska center get any updates regarding NOA2....?

I am at Nebraska, PD 1/12.  Nothing yet, but I have seen a few approved on the Nebraska I130 filers site.   The new processing time for Nebraska approvals are 7-9 months...so starting August 12, 2018, will push the button about 50 more times per day!   This has been a rough journey.
