I was "instantly approved" online last Thursday, but when I called the number yesterday afternoon I received the pending message. I just tried again and now the status has switched to approved.
Perhaps the e-mails will finally start going out soon?
Ah, you're the first person to get the "official" approved status (different from instant approval, but being moved from pending to approved). Please do post when you get the email. I called twice over the last week, so I'm not going to bother anymore. I guess it'll come when it comes.
But you know how paranoid the rest of us can be.
