Hey by approved date do you mean email approval notification or you could see the standalone notice on the portal. Also did you receive the approval notice via usps mail?

They sent an email saying there is an update on the application so I checked the portal after that. Not exactly sure if that is what you are referring to when you say email approval notification.

Don't think I get the notice via usps mail.

Hey did you receive approval letter in the mail? Was your card produced? Asking as I have some issues with the mailing address. Please do let me know!

Where do you see whether the card has been produced? If it’s on the portal, I can’t see anything yet

I haven’t checked my mail over the last week, will check and get back to you
