Hello everyone. I received my travel document three months ago; recently, during a conversation with Emma, I was told that an officer began reviewing my file on February 26th. Has anyone else had a similar conversation and subsequently received approval shortly thereafter? Or how would you interpret this situation?

There is no way to actually tell when and how soon a decision will be reached and if the decision reached will bean approval, once an officer starts reviewing a case. The best thing to do is to make sure that your mailing address is current with USCIS to ensure that you do not miss any communications from them
