How come, I got approved with GC but still no words with my husbands
petition. I know I shouldn't worry about it, but just wondering.
Is anybody had the same experince like me?

I pride myself on my ability to decipher even the most incoherent
message, but I have to admit that yours has really pushed me to the
limit. Once more please... in English this time!
Ian
Okay, let me tell you one by one. We filed the I-485 packet with the
petition. My husband is a US citizen.
We had the interview and got approved, a week later after interview I
got my conditional Green Card in the mail.
But I am wondering about his I-130 petition for me, they should suppose
to send him an approval or something, right? But until now we haven't
got anything yet.
Even the online status hasn't change yet.
I hope this wil be easier for you to understand. Thank you for your
reply in advance.

Thank you Noorah. I'm glad you understand what I was asking.
I didn't put all the information in it because I have my timeline
underneath my message.
Yeah, I guess your right, I shouldn't worry about it. Thanks again

that YOU have received the Green Card is the notification that his petition was successful.

The timeline from your website doesn't go through to this website, or to the Usenet readers elsewhere, as an FYI.
nettlebed is right; your husband will not get a separate approval notice. His I-130 was approved as part of a package with your I-485. You would not have your Green Card if his I-130 was still pending.
Congrats on your new status!

The reason you don't get an approval notice is that the I-13O petition
is adjudicated manually, at your interview, rather than by the Service
Center; so there is no automatic updating of CLAIMS and therefore no
automatic updating of the web status.
Technically, the USC petitioner is entitled to an approval notice on the
I-130 if asked for -- this will generally be a handwritten or
typewritten approval on Form I-171.
The petition is not "deemed approved" by approval of the I-485. The
petition must actually be approved by the examiner and so noted on the
petition.
Now that arshei is a permanent resident, she can obtain a full copy of
her file if she wants by filing a Privacy Act request on Form G-639.
When the file comes, it will contain a copy of the approved I-130, with
the examiner's approval stamp on the form.
