USCIS approved your case. The approval notice is in the mail.
If a card comes with this benefit, expect a 'Card Is Being Produced' and 'Card Was Mailed' update next.
Informational only, not legal advice. Go by the notice USCIS sent you, and confirm deadlines and options with USCIS or an immigration attorney.
Based on 974 moves out of this status in cases we tracked over the last two years. Only cases that have moved on are counted, so cases still waiting aren't included.

USCIS mails the approval notice. For benefits with a card, like a green card or work permit, the card is printed and mailed next. For petitions like the I-130, the case may go to the National Visa Center.
Usually a few weeks: the status changes to 'New Card Is Being Produced', then 'Card Was Mailed To Me' with a USPS tracking number.
Rarely. USCIS can reopen or revoke an approval in limited situations, for example if it was based on wrong information. If you get a notice of intent to revoke, talk to an attorney.
In cases we track, half moved to their next status within 3 days (974 cases over the last two years). Every case is different, so treat this as a rough guide.
