I had problem with approved as well.

Now I just use this in my code:

MembershipUser user = Membership.GetUser(nodeIdOrUsername);
user.IsApproved = true;
Membership.UpdateUser(user);

You may also need to add a property to your Member type, eg. isApproved and then add it to your provider in web.config in profile > properties section:

<add name="isApproved" allowAnonymous="false" provider="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="System.Boolean"/>

and then extend ProfileBase and added an Approved property. In web.config in membership > provider section add this property to your provider key eg.:

<add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" umbracoApprovePropertyTypeAlias="isApproved" umbracoLockPropertyTypeAlias="isLocked" ... />

I can't remember for sure but I think without it it didn't work.

I hope this will be of any use.
