What it means for your I-829

USCIS is printing your 10-year green card after the I-829 approval. Each family member approved with you gets a separate card. Until the card arrives, keep using your conditional card with the I-829 receipt notice as proof of status.

In general, on any form:

USCIS ordered your card to be printed. This happens after approval for green cards, work permits and similar cards. The card will be mailed once it is made. Your case decision is already done.
