Green card approved while no longer current
Hi,
This is my curent situation, my PD is Oct, 2022 and I was current from April-June,2024 (EB3 ROW). In the July visa bulletin, the Final date retrogressed to before my PD. My case has been in a case remaining pending (CRP) status since Dec, 2023 until July 16th, 2024 when status changed to “New Card is being produced” and subsequently an approval status. However, I am concerned that an approval outside of my current status will be detrimental to me down the line when I apply for citizenship. I have spoken to my lawyer and they share this concern too and are waiting till I get my green card in hand before following up with USCIS.
The questions I have are: has anyone else faced this situation or in a similar situation? How long did it take to get a resolution? Is there a possibility that I got approved internally(Visa Number allocated) around end of June and it took a while to get the external communication?
I was really looking forward to this approval and now I cannot even celebrate because of this worries :(

congratulations. I don't think it is a mistake as we have seen some approvals recently while the PD is not current.
