This is totally up to you to decide on joining just on basis of USCIS case status update. If I were you, I would wait till getting the physical card just to be on safe side. If it was mailed on 10th September, you should receive in couple of days. Check the case status again to get the tracking #.

Normally as soon as it is mailed.
