I just wanted to ask people here if they received any email/txt update from USCIS a week after receiving the actual physical letter of transfer to any of the service centers. I received two email one on 25th and then on 26th Nov that my case is being transferred. It was not until 28th or 29th when I actually saw the letter in mail that my case was transferred to CSV. After that on 2nd December I got following update via txt/email:

**************************************

Application Type: I130 , IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN

Your Case Status: Initial Review

The I130 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR RELATIVE, FIANCE(E), OR ORPHAN was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

*****************************************

​Does this mean that someone is actually working in my files/cases or is this one of those generic email? Anyone else received these emails a week after receiving the physical letter in mail? Any progress after that update?

Thank you.

Hi, I got that same notice last monday Nd last friday got my noa2. Congrats.

The letter I received with date of Nov 25 says that I should receive a decision within 60 days. Almost 25 days have passed. If they are working for the remaining of this year then I might just hear somethingl

Saw an address change notice today on the March Thread. So I guess there are some people working today. I sure wish Texas was kicking out something today.... I am starting to lose hope. The holidays make it so much more difficult.
