What this means

USCIS approved your case. What happens next depends on the form: you may receive a card, an approval notice to take to the National Visa Center / consulate, or an oath ceremony date for citizenship.

What to do next

Read the approval notice carefully. Note any next steps (card production, NVC, oath). Keep the notice with your immigration records. If something looks wrong, contact USCIS or a lawyer promptly.
