Got welcome email
I received 3 emails from USCIS this morning about a welcome notice being mailed for my pending I-485. I had no emails for the corresponding I-130. I had applied in September 2004 and during my interview, I was told the my FBI name check was pending.
What does the welcome notice mean? Does it mean my case is approved? Having gone through several interactions with the USCIS with misleading information, I am cautious about these status updates.
Thanks,
Tinkerman
