I can't believe it happened.

I have checked my email and the USCIS site every day looking for a touch, hoping to see some sign of action. I even checked this morning, and nothing. Tonight at 9pm PST I got an approval email.

I hope that those of you who filed around my time (and you July filers still waiting) hear something soon. I'd almost given up hope.
