Congrats!!! :) Is it updated on the website when you put your receipt number in?

Shockingly, no. I just put it in, and nothing. I also checked Thursday or Friday last week, and it said the same thing:

On February 7, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly.

For approved applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include USCIS sending notification of the approved application/petition to the National Visa Center or the Department of State. For denied applications/petitions, post-decision activity may include the processing of an appeal and/or motions to reopen or reconsider and revocations.

Didn't know what it meant though, since it didn't actually say it was approved.

It does say approved. "Post Decision Activity" implies that they made a decision. Also, "On February 7, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly." means that they did change your status online. It says your petition was approved. That's cool! Thanks. Good luck with NVC!! :)
