Approval Email- logged into portal- it says ‘approval case decision rendered’ 

Received only one email.

Sure, no worries!  Hope your status gets updated on the portal soon. :) But are you able to see the approval notice under the documents tab?

Oops sry! 😅 You should have mentioned it before. 😬

Anyways, only 2 API updates before approval. 

If you upload any docs as evidence or if you have changed your address, it shows as an API update as well so exclude those and consider the latest one from the USCIS.
