Got I-130 approved today after 377 days!!

Yayyy! Yesterday May 6, I got a SECOND notice "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS," dated today May 7, 2024. (My first notice "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS" was May 25, 2023.) Logging into USCIS and checking my Documents tab, it said "I-130 Approval.pdf" dated today, May 7! In the PDF file, it said "The above petition has been approved." So my official status yesterday still said "Case is being actively reviewed by USCIS." But today as expected, my status changed to "Case approved"!! So 3 things may happen: 1. You get a second "Case is being actively reviewed." 2. The next day, it changes to "Case approved." 3. If you see "I-130 Approval.pdf" in your Documents tab, even if your status has not changed yet, you've been approved. My wife and I are overjoyed and relieved! She did not do an interview.
